Trump, Obama, Vance hit key states in midterm sprint
Former President Obama is campaigning in Georgia on Wednesday — less than a week out from Election Day — to give a boost to Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms, who's running for Georgia governor, and incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D), as well as push voter turnout.
What the coverage shows
All five outlets frame the story as Trump and Obama campaigning in the closing days before the midterms, with CBS News and The Hill emphasizing rally stops and PBS NewsHour offering live coverage of Trump in Texas. The main divergence is in angle: Al Jazeera foregrounds national polling and says Democrats lead, while Newsweek centers a comparison of Obama and Trump’s favorability ratings. The Hill’s extract is the only one that specifies Obama’s Atlanta visit and the candidates it is meant to help.
