Super Tuesday is the biggest day of the year for presidential primaries and caucuses. On this day, 16 states will be voting in Republican contests and one state will be voting in a Democratic primary. The results of Super Tuesday are expected to have a significant impact on both parties' nomination races.
It is not clear if any other states besides the 16 Republican-voting and one Democrat-voting state will be holding primaries or caucuses on Super Tuesday.
Super Tuesday is a quadrennial tradition in the United States where voters in 16 states and one territory cast ballots for presidential primaries.
Joe Biden won 10 of the Super Tuesday states in 2020, bringing Bernie Sanders' march to the Democratic nomination to an end.
Nikki Haley is still running against Trump but has only managed to win one primary so far and expectations for her campaign are low.
Both parties already have a clear sense of who their nominees will be, as Biden and Trump have cruised through the early voting states.
Super Tuesday could still provide key clues about where each party stands heading into the general election in November.
In the Republican primary, 874 of 2,429 total delegates will be up for grabs on Super Tuesday and Trump needs roughly 1,000 more to capture the nomination.
Trump has already won 244 delegates from early voting contests so he is unlikely to cross that threshold on Super Tuesday but could bring an end to the Republican primary as soon as this month.
Haley's loss in South Carolina was by 20 points and she vowed to fight on until Super Tuesday, insisting that voters deserved a real choice.
After losing her home state of South Carolina, Haley has been vague about her plans after Super Tuesday and many election watchers expect her to soon call it quits.
Biden does not have any real competition for the Democratic nomination but Super Tuesday represents an opportunity for him to notch some decisive wins after his mixed performance in Michigan last week.
Super Taylor may give Biden the chance to show that the Democratic party is already coming together to defeat Trump in November.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Super Tuesday has provided a clear indication of which candidates will win their parties' presidential nominations in past election cycles. However, this year it does not provide such an indication as both Biden and Trump have already won most of the early voting states.
The article falsely implies that Super Tuesday is always significant for determining who wins a party's presidential nomination.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Super Tuesday has provided a clear indication of which candidates will win their parties' presidential nominations in past election cycles without providing any evidence or citation for this claim. Additionally, the author makes use of inflammatory rhetoric when describing Nikki Haley's campaign as having low expectations and being her last stand, even though there is no concrete information to support these claims.

Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents the results of Super Tuesday as if they are final when in fact they are not yet complete. Secondly, it does not disclose or quote sources for its information which makes it difficult to verify the accuracy of its claims.
The article does not disclose or quote any sources for its information which makes it difficult to verify the accuracy of its claims.
The article states that 'Tonight, 854 Republican delegates are at stake across 15 states.' However, this is incorrect as only results from a few key races have been reported and many other races remain undecided.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing the results as a 'Super Tuesday' and using phrases such as 'key races to watch'. This creates an emotional response in readers rather than providing objective information. Additionally, the author uses dichotomous depictions when stating that Democrats are competing for Senate seats while Republicans are not mentioned at all. The article also contains appeals to authority by citing polls and election results without providing any context or analysis of their reliability.

CNN — At one point or another, voters in 42 different states have cast ballots in a presidential primary or caucus on a Super Tuesday. Sixteen of those states are holding elections today — the most since 2008, when two dozen states held contests on that year’s Super Tuesday.
Super Tuesday refers to the election day with the most states voting in a presidential primary season — and with the biggest prize on the presidential primary calendar. But the group of states voting on Super Tuesday fluctuates every election cycle.

Super Tuesday is the biggest day of the year for presidential primaries and caucuses.
Nikki Haley's campaign isn't projecting she wins a single state, but her allies are hoping that she can get 40 percent in states with more moderate Republican voters.
Trump could win most of the delegates awarded on Super Tuesday, mathematically speaking. If he does well in the 15 states voting in Republican contests, it will take him a few more weeks to officially clinch the nomination by winning enough delegates.

Being pro-Nikki doesn’t automatically mean you are anti-Trump, but it is a persuadable opportunity.
President Biden could have another dominant primary performance and then he will give a State of the Union address to Congress two days afterward.
Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Haley's campaign is doomed to fail from the start when she didn't directly attack Trump until it was too late. However, this statement contradicts itself as there are plenty of theories about why Haley stayed in the race despite only winning a single race so far.
Haley argues that most states have not voted in the Republican presidential nominating contests yet. Nearly 90 percent of delegates haven't been awarded. But this statement is misleading as it implies that Trump has no chance to win, but he could still win more than a third of all delegates on Super Tuesday and clinch the nomination by winning enough delegates.

The article contains several fallacies.

Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma by suggesting that Haley's decision to stay in the Republican primaries despite only winning a single race so far is somehow equivalent to running a campaign that was doomed to fail from the start.
