South Carolina Senate rivals spar over Iran, AI and Trump in debate

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the South Carolina Senate debate between Darline Graham and Annie Andrews, and both frame it as a contentious clash. NBC News emphasizes the race to replace the late Sen. Lindsey Graham and notes, in its extract, that the winner would be the first female senator elected from South Carolina. The Hill is the only outlet here to foreground that it was the candidates’ one and only debate and to summarize the exchange as testy, with Graham trying to link Andrews to the Democratic Socialists of America.
