Fox News host Jesse Watters told viewers Tuesday night that early midterm numbers looked bad for Republicans. "It's not a red wave," he said.
Why it matters: Democrats need to flip three House seats and four Senate seats for majorities. Losing either chamber would cancel the promised checks and limit Trump's agenda.
Where they split: Coverage differs on the cause of the expected losses: Trump's primary endorsements, rising prices, or voter fatigue with Trump.
Center coverage, 38 sources: The center focuses on what a Democratic win means, including Hume's view that Trump is now a lame duck.
Left coverage, 38 sources: The left sees Fox hosts conceding defeat and blames Trump's endorsements, tariffs and the Iran war for Republican losses.
What’s next: With 53% of the vote counted, CNN's tally showed Democrat James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton in Texas by more than a million votes.
