Democrats have flipped over 40 House seats. Here's the breakdown.
Democrats won control of the House on Tuesday by flipping more than three dozen Republican-held seats, picking up perennial swing districts and seats that were once considered deep red.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story around Democratic gains in the House, but CBS News is the only one in the extracts that explicitly says Democrats won control by flipping more than three dozen Republican-held seats. The Guardian US uses broader live-blog language about Democrats holding nearly 100 more House seats than Republicans and a continuing blue wave, while Fox News singles out one deep-red seat and highlights the low-cost campaigns of named candidates.
