Trump pardons 2 auto workers on stage during rally in Alaska
President Trump granted onstage pardons to two Alaska auto shop owners who pleaded guilty to violating the Clean Air Act during a rally Tuesday — an unusually public use of the president's clemency power.

What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the Alaska stop as a campaign trip aimed at boosting Republicans in a surprisingly competitive Senate race, with NBC News, CNN, The Hill and the Washington Post all emphasizing how unusual the battleground looks. CBS News, 60 Minutes and one NBC News report instead foreground the onstage pardons, and CBS calls them an unusually public use of clemency. The Guardian’s later items are more focused on the Alaska race and the “real” Dan Sullivan, while PBS NewsHour only appears with a live campaign label.
