Competitive races continue to shift in the final days before Election Day as early voting data combined with polling and ad spending keep the House and Senate maps broader than expected.
Nine people died when a Learjet went into a residential street eight miles from Mar-a-Lago. The headline that changed there is the quiet kind. One outlet went from a jet that crashed with nine aboard to all nine dead, once the transportation secretary said so. Nothing in the coverage says why it came down, and the investigators have only just started. The right put the resort in its headline. The left and center led with the street. A mile count is not a cause, and until the investigators give one, the distance to the president's club is only geography.

Haley Stevens endorsed the Republican in the Senate race that may decide the chamber, and the coverage split on what the story was. The center and the right led with the endorsement. The left led with Michigan Democrats ripping her for it. Then her staff resigned. Two days before Tuesday, a Democrat has handed the other party a testimonial, and her own side is spending the weekend on her instead of him.
