What the coverage shows
Forbes Breaking News is the only outlet here focused on Trump’s fortune, saying his net worth fell by $111 million as Trump Media shares hit an all-time low after the Democratic sweep. Reuters instead frames the story around Trump’s first public appearance after the results, with his comment that he would have won if he had been on the ballot. The two outlets overlap only in treating the Democratic midterm sweep as the common trigger for their coverage.
