All six outlets frame the night as a broad Democratic wave, with most headlines and extracts emphasizing control of Congress and multiple flips rather than a single race.

The Independent is the only outlet here to spotlight Jon Ossoff and Roy Cooper specifically, and France 24 is the only one to pivot immediately to possible consequences for Israel.
