The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position. The author states 'Biden supporters want to move forward quickly with the virtual roll call, saying the plan has been set and approved for weeks – long before the presidential debate in June – and is necessary because of Republican moves in Ohio that once threatened to keep the president off the state’s ballot.' However, she fails to mention that Ohio lawmakers have since passed a 'clean' bill to protect Biden's ballot spot, making a virtual roll call less necessary. The author also quotes critics who say a virtual roll call amounts to an attempt to ram through Biden's nomination but does not provide any counterargument or context from those in favor of the virtual roll call. Lastly, the article uses emotional manipulation by stating 'The question at hand, now, is whether Democrats should trust that Ohio Republicans are truly done playing games.'

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when quoting Craig Shirley's opinion on the situation. However, since the author is not making a logical error in reporting Shirley's statement, it does not directly impact the author's argument. The score is reduced due to this minor infraction.
Craig Shirley, a presidential historian and biographer of former President Reagan, told Fox News Digital.
What is going to happen is this: Biden is going to be renominated with Kamala Harris. He can’t afford to get rid of Kamala Harris because he doesn’t want her. She’s a liability, but he would also, by getting rid of Kamala, insult and lose a valuable constituency. He’s not going to do that.
The DNC is considering formally nominating Biden as early as mid-July.
