Trump dominates the Iowa Senate debate from afar
President Donald Trump was the main character in a televised Iowa Senate debate Wednesday night between Democrat Josh Turek, a state representative, and Republican Rep.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around Trump’s comments on endorsing Ken Paxton, and both note the “no regrets” line. The Guardian US is the only outlet that explicitly mentions the leaked recordings in its headline, while PBS NewsHour focuses on Trump speaking at or about a rally for Paxton and does not foreground the leak.
