New Jersey governor announces lieutenant governor’s resignation

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said she has accepted the resignation of Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell after an investigation found he violated state ethics and harassment policy.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets center on Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s demand that Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell resign by Friday after an ethics investigation. The Washington Post and Fox News both foreground allegations of sexual harassment, while The Guardian frames the findings more broadly as “serious, repeated violations” and is the only one to mention staffers and gifts in its extract.
