Biden Holds Fundraiser with Letterman and Green Amidst Candidacy Concerns

President Joe Biden is set to hold a fundraiser on July 29, 2023, at Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. The event will feature late-night host David Letterman and Hawaii Governor Josh Green as special guests. Biden has faced calls from some celebrities to drop out of the 2024 race following his disastrous debate performance on June 27, but he insists he is the best person to beat Donald Trump in the upcoming election. The fundraiser comes amid growing concerns over continued fundraising support and anxious donors expressing worries about Biden's performance and the future of the party.

Letterman, who helmed CBS' Late Show for 22 seasons, will join Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the event. Green has known the Biden family for years, as his wife's uncle was Biden's college roommate. The fundraiser is expected to attract a significant number of donors despite ongoing doubts over Biden's candidacy.

Biden has been recovering from COVID-19 at his Rehoboth Beach home but is looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to challenge Trump's claims and make the case for his own record and vision for America. The stakes are high, and the choice is clear, Biden said. Together, we will win.

Green has managed Hawaii through devastating wildfires last summer since becoming governor in 2022.

    The author expresses a clear bias towards the Democratic Party and specifically towards President Biden by reporting on his upcoming fundraiser with David Letterman and highlighting the abandonment of Biden by other Hollywood donors. The author also quotes George Clooney's criticism of Biden's debate performance, which can be seen as an attempt to depict those who question Biden's ability to run for re-election as extreme or unreasonable.

          • Fallacies (95%)
            The article contains several informal fallacies, specifically appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric. The authors quote Republican strategist Garrett Ventry and US Rep. Jeff Van Drew making statements that criticize Biden's campaign and the media's role in it. These statements are examples of appeals to authority as they rely on the perceived expertise or credibility of the speakers to make their points, rather than providing evidence or logical reasoning. Additionally, there are several instances of inflammatory rhetoric used by both the authors and the quoted sources that aim to provoke strong emotions in readers. For example, 'washed up comedians' and 'crushing them up and down the ballot' are derogatory statements that do not contribute to a productive or informative discussion about the topic at hand. However, there are no formal fallacies or dichotomous depictions present in the article.
            • ][Republican strategist Garrett Ventry] Joe Biden’s campaign is so desperate for donors [that] he is now bringing out washed up comedians.[/]
            • [US Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-New Jersey)] If Joe Biden survives, it will not be the public or politicians that will save him. It will be the same media that has always protected him for the last few years.[
