tl;drSUMMARY ACROSS OUTLETS

Byron Donalds’s campaign website reduced or removed references to President Donald Trump, and Trump publicly disputed coverage of the change.

Left-leaning outlets treat the edits as evidence of weakening Trump influence and Republicans’ efforts to distance themselves. Center outlets place the changes in a wider political contest, pairing the website edits with polling, denials, and Trump’s efforts to support Donalds and discourage Republican distancing. Right-leaning outlets cast the dispute as a media-created narrative, stressing Trump’s support for Donalds and the campaign’s explanation.
