Republican Candidates in Tight Races Try to Distance From Trump
As candidates across the United States square off in debates, some Republicans are looking to distance themselves from President Donald Trump and the rising costs from the Iran war, with polls showing affordability and the cost of living are top of mind for voters.
NBC News
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as Republican candidates trying to balance distance from Trump with the need to stay aligned to him, and both emphasize his continued pull inside the party. The BBC is broader and more general, describing candidates in November's elections deciding whether to distance themselves from an unpopular president, while 60 Minutes focuses on Trump’s Texas visit and says some Republican candidates may not want it. 60 Minutes also uniquely mentions Susan Collins and debate-stage scrutiny in its extract.
