Analysis

Compare how each side frames the story — including which facts they emphasize or leave out.

Center-leaning sources present Newsom as a purposeful anti‑Trump alternative, using active verbs ('hammer,' 'needle') and emphasis on international appearances and climate leadership. They foreground Democratic voices and Newsom's quotes, minimally present rebuttal (only 'White House did not immediately respond'), and curate anecdotes (social-media mocking, redrawn maps) to suggest frontrunner momentum.
