Blue wave nearly swallowed some of America's reddest states as election data exposes GOP's close calls

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around the same broad theme: Republican losses in the midterms were more severe than the top-line race results alone suggest. Fox News is more specific, foregrounding close-call vote counts in Mississippi and describing a “stunning election night bloodbath,” while Democracy Now! generalizes the point to state-level losses and says the blue wave “could be even worse” for the GOP.
