In Wooing Wavering Hispanic Voters, Trump Talks ICE, His Ballroom and Himself
President Trump veered off the topic at hand during a White House reception for Hispanic Heritage Month.
What the coverage shows
The Independent frames the story as Trump’s gerrymandering push backfiring in Texas and Florida, while the New York Times focuses more narrowly on Hispanic voters on the Texas border souring on Trump. Both extracts point to Republican electoral trouble and a weakened coalition, but only The Independent mentions hopes of picking up as many as nine seats between Texas and Florida.
