• ▸Source diversity — The two quoted speakers are aligned in support of Donalds; other perspectives are limited.
• ▸Loaded language — Most charged wording appears in attributed quotations rather than the reporter's narration.

The piece reports the cross-party endorsement and town hall with attributed quotations and largely neutral language. It gives Donalds extensive space to answer Jolly's criticism, while Jolly does not speak in the article, but the overall framing does not show a clear partisan lean.

• ▸Source selection — Chestnut and Donalds are quoted; Jolly's criticism is reported but he is not directly quoted.
• ▸Framing — The article centers on a Democratic official's endorsement of a Republican gubernatorial candidate and his town hall responses.
