          • Fallacies (80%)
            The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the D.C. Republican Party chair believes that their electorate is unique and more sophisticated than others in other states due to personal connections with campaign workers. This statement implies that the party's opinion should be taken as fact, which is a form of informal fallacy known as an appeal to authority or halo effect. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Trump was trounced in the D.C. GOP primary and warning D.C. lobbyists that they will be blacklisted from any future Trump White House access if they don't vote for him, which is a form of informal fallacy known as an appeal to fear or scare tactics.

                          The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title claims that Haley has ended Trump's undefeated run with a victory in Washington D.C., when this is not entirely accurate as Trump won the district by an uncontested primary in 2020 and finished third behind Rubio and Kasich during the 2016 primary, which was contested. Secondly, the article states that Haley has gained momentum with her victory in Washington D.C., but this is not entirely accurate as Trump still maintains a strong lead going into Super Tuesday despite losing delegates to Haley in DC and South Carolina. Lastly, the article claims that no other contenders are running against Trump, which is false as there are several other candidates such as DeSantis and Cruz who have announced their candidacy.

Secondly, the author quotes Perez-Cubas stating that Haley is the first woman to win a Republican primary in U.S. history when this statement is not entirely accurate as there have been other women who won primaries before her.
