Veterans Protest Trump Arch Amid Lawsuit: 'Veterans Over Vanity'
Veterans and lawmakers gathered at Memorial Circle as a lawsuit challenging Trump's proposed arch continues in federal court.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the protest against Trump’s proposed “triumphal arch,” with CNN adding that members of Congress and military veterans joined Public Citizen and that the arch was described as a 250-foot memorial between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. PBS NewsHour’s headline frames the item as video of veterans and lawmakers speaking at the protest, while CNN foregrounds the broader call for the administration to abandon the plan.
