The article contains editorializing and pontification by the authors. They describe Trump as a 'convicted felon' multiple times without providing any context or explanation for why this is relevant to the article. They also use phrases like 'former and future president' and 'bitter primary and general election cycle', which are subjective opinions that add no value to the article. The authors also quote several politicians making statements, but it is not clear whether these statements are being made in support of or criticism of Trump, making it difficult to determine the author's intent. Additionally, there is selective reporting as some details about Trump's plans for a second term agenda are only mentioned vaguely or behind closed doors and not fully disclosed in the article.

Fallacies

The authors use inflammatory rhetoric by describing Trump as a 'convicted felon' and 'bitter primary and general election cycle muddied by Trump's ongoing legal troubles'. This is an appeal to emotion and can be considered an informal fallacy. They also make a dichotomous depiction of the Republican party, implying that those who attend the meeting are 'key congressional allies, vice presidential hopefuls and even a few former outspoken opponents' while those who do not attend are 'senators skeptical of Trump'. This is an oversimplification and can be considered a fallacy. The authors also use loaded language by describing some senators as 'skeptical of Trump' without providing any context or evidence for their skepticism.
