Deception

Bias
(95%)
The article does not contain any clear examples of political, religious, ideological, or monetary bias. However, the author does use language that depicts Burgum as a 'staid' and 'natural fit' for Trump compared to other potential running mates like Kristi Noem and Elise Stefanik. This language could be seen as implying that these other women are not as qualified or suitable for the role of vice president due to their perceived 'drama' or lack of experience in business. While this is not an overtly biased statement, it does reflect a subtle bias against women in politics and could potentially influence readers' perceptions of the candidates mentioned.
And Burgum offers little in the way of racial diversity or being relatable to suburban women when discussing abortion rights.
But Burgum’s conservative approach isn’t influenced by deep religious convictions and devotion, as it was with Trump’s first running mate. While Burgum signed legislation enacting a six-week abortion ban in North Dakota and various bills curbing rights for transgender people, he rarely brought up the issues unprompted on the campaign trail – and he has long maintained he would not support restricting abortion at the federal level.
The awkward moment highlighted how Burgum, despite being one of Donald Trump’s top surrogates, is still fairly new to the spotlight. A year ago, few Americans outside his Upper Midwest state had heard of Burgum, a mild-mannered, self-made businessman.
The difference is night and day for our citizens, for our small businesses … we’re under a barrage of red tape that’s trying to basically shut down U.S. energy.
