    • Trump won Pennsylvania in the 2016 presidential election with approximately 68,000 votes.

  • Accuracy
    • Nikki Haley received over 147,000 votes in Pennsylvania's GOP primary.
    • Nikki Haley took over 100,000 votes against Donald Trump in Pennsylvania's Republican primaries.
  • Deception (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains a few informal fallacies and an example of inflammatory rhetoric. It uses an exaggerated comparison to depict the number of votes Nikki Haley received as significant in the context of the overall election outcome. The author also employs inflammatory language when referring to 'protest voters' without providing evidence for this characterization. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction presented by naming and emphasizing 'warning signs' for Trump while downplaying the impact of protest votes on Biden.
    • . . . it's a state that President Biden won by about 80,500 votes in 2020. Haley received at least 147,00
    • In the key swing states of Arizona and Wisconsin, more than one-fifth of GOP primary voters cast a ballot for a non-Trump candidate during the state’s primary contests.
    • The Pennsylvania primary comes as the presidential election has entered into a new phase for Trump, who, facing 34 felony counts in his New York criminal case, is largely campaigning from the courtroom as the trial plays out over the next several weeks.
