What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead on David Crowley winning Wisconsin’s governor’s race, and both identify him as the first Black governor in the state. NPR’s extract adds campaign themes, saying the race focused on lowering costs for working families and jobs, while CBS News alone notes that Crowley won the Democratic nomination after dropping out of the primary and then jumping back in.
