Google Search has this news or top stories section titled "Backstory." It comes up from political queries, maybe other news queries.

This was spotted by Khushal Bherwani who posted about it on X - I can't seem to replicate this but maybe I am trying the wrong queries?

Using the title "Backstory" seems a tad dangerous to me for political queries?
