Donald Trump has canceled rallies in Kansas and Iowa ahead of Tuesday’s midterms

What the coverage shows

All seven outlets center on Obama mocking Trump’s reaction to the Cheesecake Factory comparison, with Reuters, CNN, The Hill and The Guardian all emphasizing his “whole of government” line. The Guardian frames it as a rally appearance in Georgia, CNN adds the Saddam Hussein comparison, and The Hill foregrounds Obama’s criticism of Republicans for fixating on the joke. The New York Times is the outlier, using the moment as a doorway into a separate piece on the Cheesecake Factory itself rather than the political spat.
