The article maintains strict neutrality through careful attribution to named outlets (The Boston Globe, The New York Times, NPR, The Guardian, Vox, The Economist). Both prior review issues have been addressed: the 'progressive vs. moderate' framing has been removed, and language is now limited to 'progressive,' 'left,' and 'what kind of Democrat,' consistent with source reporting. No loaded language or editorial synthesis remains. The Utah passage notes a specific candidate's prior support for abortion restrictions, but this is attributed to The New York Times and framed as a reported point of contention rather than editorial judgment. The headline is accurate and non-sensational. The article appropriately notes that final results were not reported and that no candidates were quoted directly. Coverage represents the contests fairly without taking sides. Ready for publication.
