What the coverage shows
CBS News and NPR both frame the midterms through Democratic gains, but they emphasize different angles. CBS News focuses directly on the biggest victories, naming pivotal wins in Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan and elsewhere, while NPR broadens the frame to what comes next for Democrats and notes that some races were still outstanding. CBS News also adds, in a separate item, exit polls on how Democrats won, a detail not present in NPR’s extract.
