The article reports on leaked chats from Democratic National Committee (DNC) delegates discussing the possibility of Joe Biden stepping down as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. While it is newsworthy that such discussions are taking place, Fox News presents this information in a sensational and deceptive manner by implying that these discussions are an attempt to 'tear the party apart' and suggesting that they represent a widespread sentiment among Democrats. The author also quotes some delegates making statements about Biden's chances of re-election and potential successors, but does not provide any context or evidence to support the idea that these views are representative of the Democratic Party as a whole. This selective reporting is intended to manipulate readers' emotions and create a false narrative about internal divisions within the Democratic Party.
