The nine key races that will decide who controls the Senate, and where they stand

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as a roundup of the Senate races that will determine control of the chamber. Fox News is more specific, listing nine key races and naming six toss-up contests in Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Ohio and Texas, while The Independent uses the broader setup of competitive midterm races. Only The Independent’s extract foregrounds voter frustration over rising prices, the war in Iran and Donald Trump’s unpopularity.
