Midterms: Obama campaigns for Democrats, slams Trump
At a rally in Ohio this Saturday, former US president Barack Obama said that Americans were facing higher costs because of decisions made by the administration, including what he described as "an unnecessary war that nobody asked for and nobody voted for."
What the coverage shows
Coverage converges on Obama’s Ohio campaign appearance and his attacks on Trump, with several outlets also noting his criticism of Vivek Ramaswamy or the Ohio race more broadly. Fox News and CNN foreground the “Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” line, while NBC, BBC, CBS, ABC and the New York Times frame the story more generally around Obama and Trump on the midterm trail. The Independent is the only outlet here focused instead on Bill Clinton’s criticism of Trump’s White House renovations.
