Election Day arrives with Americans deciding control of Congress for Trump’s final two years: Live updates
Democrats must flip four seats in the Senate and three seats in the House to gain majority control in each of the chambers of Congress
What the coverage shows
All four outlets center on Trump’s final midterm pitch at the Lincoln Memorial, with The Hill and Fox News foregrounding the event itself and PBS NewsHour framing it as a report on what he said. The Independent is the only one to add live-updates framing and to emphasize a different detail from the excerpt, quoting Trump telling voters to “pretend I’m on the ballot” on Fox News.
