The authors use emotional manipulation by stating 'Kamala Harris is betting on a surge of Democratic enthusiasm to propel her campaign for the White House, casting the election as a fight to protect ‘freedom’ in America from Donald Trump.' They also use selective reporting by only mentioning polls that give Harris an edge and ignoring those that show Trump leading. The authors also make editorializing statements such as 'But with just over 100 days to go until the election, she faces an uphill battle if she is going to defeat Trump.'

The authors use an appeal to emotion by describing the crowd's reaction as 'ecstatic' and repeating the line 'we are not going back'. They also make a hasty generalization about Biden when they state that he is making the case for Democrats to retain the presidency less crisply and energetically than Harris. Lastly, there is an instance of hyperbole when they describe Trump as a 'convicted felon'.
The ecstatic crowd cheered and chanted, ‘we are not going back’ – repeating one of the lines from her speech.

The authors use the term 'freedom' repeatedly to describe what Harris is promising and what Democrats are fighting for. This language is not neutral and could be seen as an ideological bias towards individual liberties. The authors also mention that Harris will be a 'fierce champion for individual liberties against Republican extremism.' This statement implies that the authors view Republicans as being opposed to individual freedoms, which could be seen as a political bias.
But Democrats insist the enthusiasm surrounding Harris will continue and the grassroots effort to elect her and defeat Trump will help supercharge her three-month sprint of a campaign. ‘If you have a great organisation, with enthusiastic volunteers, who are going to do whatever they need to make sure they vote, their family votes, their neighbours vote, that is worth three to five points alone.’ That is the difference between winning and losing.
Democratic strategists say as Harris energises the Democratic base she must also court the moderate, swing and independent voters who could ultimately decide the election. ‘She’s got to focus on the middle. That’s where the election will be won or lost.’

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett suggested that President Joe Biden selected Harris as his running mate solely because she is Black, referring to diversity, equity, and inclusion as the reason for her hire.
Throughout her career as a prosecutor, holding positions such as San Francisco’s district attorney and California’s attorney general, Harris has faced accusations of being a ‘DEI hire.’
Bakari Sellers, a former South Carolina Democratic state representative and CNN political commentator, stated that Burchett’s comments turned the value of diversity into a slur.
GOP lawmaker Tim Burchett’s continued attacks on Harris’ race or gender could ultimately backfire against Republicans.

The author makes no direct assertions of deception in this article, but the title and body contain editorializing and sensationalism. The title implies that Burchett's comments are a sign of what's to come, which is an opinion. The body contains quotes from political analysts making opinions about Burchett's comments being similar to tactics used during the 2008 election and the Republican Southern Strategy.
Some caution it’s a sign of what’s to come
This is not personal, with regard to Kamala Harris, and her ethnicity or her gender had nothing to do with this whatsoever. This is about who can deliver for the American people and get us out of the mess that we’re in.
It echoes tactics Republicans used during the 2008 election to drive the conspiracy around Barack Obama’s birthplace, and caution that it could be a sign of what’s to come along the already turbulent road to Election Day.

The author expresses a clear political bias towards Kamala Harris and against Donald Trump. She frames the election as a choice between 'starkly different visions for the country' with Harris's vision being 'optimistic and forward-looking' and Trump's being 'regressive and backward-looking'. The author also uses language that depicts Trump in a negative light, such as 'first president ever to be convicted of a felony', 'extreme abortion bans', and 'radical left person'.
Kamala Harris vowed on Tuesday that Americans were ‘not going back’ to the ‘Chaos’ of the Donald Trump years, as she made her campaign trail debut in battleground Wisconsin with just over 100 days left before the election.
She drew a sharp contrast between herself and Trump, casting his vision for the country as regressive and backward-looking and hers as optimistic and forward-looking.
