The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

81%

Examples:

  • But on Sunday, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Va.), another Freedom Caucus member, publicly turned his back on the group’s chair by endorsing McGuire.
  • For Trump, the contest is incredibly personal, going back to last year, when Good endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential bid as Trump was facing multiple indictments.
  • Republicans point out the race has created an obvious division within the party, but many are skeptical it will have any consequences for the GOP beyond Tuesday’s primary.
  • The intraparty battle has positioned former President Trump against some of his key allies, including his former chief strategist Steve Bannon and Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), who are supporting Good.
  • Trump has endorsed state Sen. John McGuire, a former Navy SEAL.

Conflicts of Interest

92%

Examples:

  • Dan Eberhart, a DeSantis donor, called the theory that DeSantis’ supporters would gravitate toward Haley a false narrative.
  • Haley echoed this sentiment while campaigning throughout the Granite State on the eve of the primary.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Enthusiasm for Trump’s campaign appears higher than expected at his live events, while Haley’s applause lines were met with silence during her get out the vote event in Franklin, N.H.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • The author claims that Haley’s campaign has seen momentum following DeSantis’ exit from the race. However, this claim is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and appears to be an attempt to spin a negative situation for Trump into a positive one for Haley.
  • The author quotes Dan Eberhart, a DeSantis donor, who claims that many of DeSantis’ supporters will gravitate toward Haley. However, this claim is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and appears to be an attempt to spin a negative situation for Trump into a positive one for Haley.
