    • What a week. First, let’s acknowledge it – rough debate. One guy needed a lozenge, the other guy needed a lie detector and a conscience and a reminder that he’s not running for dictator of North Korea.
    • The best way forward right now is a decision for the president to make. Over the coming days, I urge him to listen to the American people and carefully evaluate whether he remains our best hope to defeat Donald Trump.

        • Biden made a mistake during his speech in Madison, Wis. and said he will beat Trump in 2020 instead of 2024.
      • Deception (30%)
        The author makes multiple statements about Biden's intentions to run for re-election in 2024, stating 'I'm running and going to win again', 'I will beat him again in 2024'. However, during the same speech, Biden also said 'we're going to do it again in 2024'. This inconsistency suggests selective reporting by the author as they only report statements that support their preconceived notion of Biden running for re-election. The author does not disclose any sources for these quotes, making it impossible to verify their accuracy.
        • I'm running and going to win again.
        • I will beat him again in 2024.
        • we're going to do it again in 2024
      • Fallacies (85%)
        The author makes an error in reporting the election year that President Biden mentioned during his speech. This is a fallacy of misquotation or misrepresentation. The author also reports on speculation and concerns about Biden's age and fitness for office, which can be considered inflammatory rhetoric.
        • > The president appeared to misspeak during his speech, claiming ‘I will beat [Trump] again in 2020.’ A few seconds later, Biden added: ‘By the way, we’re going to do it again in 2024.’
        • > Several Democrats have publicly called for Biden to drop out of the race due to concerns about his age and perceived cognitive decline.
        • > Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) became the first House Democrat to call on Biden to drop out.
      • Bias (80%)
        The author makes multiple statements expressing that Biden is running for re-election and will win again in 2024. However, during the speech, Biden mistakenly says 'I will beat [Trump] again in 2020'. This inconsistency could be seen as an unintentional error or a slip of the tongue. However, given that the author is reporting on this mistake and emphasizing Biden's commitment to running for re-election in 2024, it could also be interpreted as an intentional emphasis on the year 2020, potentially implying a desire for Biden to run again despite being older and facing questions about his fitness for office. This could be seen as a subtle bias towards Biden's campaign and his continued candidacy.
