Trump makes fevered campaign push in final weekend before election
The US president rallied in states that Republicans previously won - showcasing how tight Tuesday's elections could be in determining control of Congress.
PBS NewsHour
What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on Trump’s Iowa rally as part of a final election push, with ABC News, PBS NewsHour and 60 Minutes all framing it as a wrap-up or live event in the closing stretch. The Los Angeles Times is the only outlet to broaden that into rallies in red states and to emphasize an “off-script” rosy economic message. The Guardian’s extracts are the only ones to foreground Trump’s remarks about Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed.
