What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Trump’s appeal for voters to back the “real” Dan Sullivan in Alaska’s tight Senate race. The Guardian adds the fuller election context, naming Democratic challenger Mary Peltola and describing the contest as a breakthrough bid for the Republican incumbent. CNN keeps the framing tighter and, in its extract, uniquely says Trump traveled to Alaska and that another man named Dan Sullivan is in the race.
