President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure from within his own party to abandon his campaign for a second term, with Democratic officials calling for him to withdraw from the 2024 election. The latest reports suggest that Biden could step aside as soon as this weekend. However, some Democrats, such as Minnesota DFL chair Ken Martin, have expressed their support for the president and dismissed concerns about his age affecting their chances in November.
Biden's campaign has been under scrutiny following his positive COVID-19 diagnosis. The Biden team slammed former President Trump's RNC speech for failing to mention certain topics, including Project 2025 and women's rights. In response, Trump accused Biden of destroying the economy, ripping away rights, and failing middle class families.
Despite these developments, some senior White House and campaign officials believe that Biden should continue in the race. However, there is deep despair among staff about the situation. Republicans are expected to call for Biden's resignation if he does not seek reelection.
It remains to be seen how this unfolds and what impact it will have on the 2024 election. One thing is certain: the race is far from over, and all sides will continue to make their case to voters.

The article quotes multiple Democratic lawmakers calling on Biden to drop out and implies that there is growing pressure on him to do so. However, it does not mention any counterarguments or opposition to this viewpoint. Additionally, the article uses emotional manipulation by quoting Raskin's letter where he urges Biden to consider stepping down for the sake of the party and democracy.

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it mentions that 'among the larger world of Democratic strategists, there is a sense that Mr. Biden’s departure from the race is inevitable and is just a matter of timing and mechanics.' This statement implies that because many Democratic strategists believe something, it must be true. However, this does not provide any evidence or logical reasoning for why President Biden's departure from the race is inevitable.

The article reports on the pressure from Democratic lawmakers for President Biden to leave the 2024 presidential race. The author mentions that two senior House Democrats believe that Biden could leave the race in three to five days and quotes them directly. The author also mentions that there have been an absence of strongly worded memos from the campaign and quotes a senior congressional Democratic aide and a senior Biden campaign official acknowledging private conversations between Pelosi and Biden about his prospects. These examples demonstrate a clear bias towards reporting on the internal discussions within the Democratic Party regarding President Biden's decision to run for re-election.
A senior congressional Democratic aide and a senior Biden campaign official acknowledged to CBS News that Pelosi recently spoke to Mr. Biden by phone, and that she spoke with former President Barack Obama about Mr. Biden’s prospects and what she is hearing from Democratic lawmakers.

The article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The authors quote multiple sources expressing their private beliefs about Biden's campaign, but do not provide any context or counter-arguments. This creates a one-sided narrative that manipulates the reader's emotions by presenting only negative information about Biden and his team. Additionally, the authors use phrases like 'widespread acceptance', 'plight of his candidacy', and 'deepening crisis' to further manipulate emotions. The article also selectively reports details that support this negative narrative, such as Biden's disastrous debate performance and the ire of his family towards some advisers, while ignoring any positive information or context.

However, no formal logical fallacies were identified in direct quotes from the article.
