The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author uses phrases like 'most important in the nation's history', 'expected to be exceedingly close', and 'delicate balance between geopolitics and Biden's bid to win a second term'. These phrases are not facts, but rather opinions of the author. Additionally, the article selectively reports details that support Biden's position, such as the amount of money raised at the fundraiser and quotes from Obama expressing admiration for Biden's accomplishments. It does not provide any counter-arguments or perspectives.

She uses strong language to describe the potential consequences of a second Trump term, such as 'bloodbath' and 'out of kilter'. The author also quotes Biden making similar statements about the potential consequences of a second Trump term. These statements demonstrate political bias against Trump.

The author makes several statements about Trump's threats to democratic institutions and his past actions, but does not commit any explicit logical fallacies. However, there are some instances of inflammatory rhetoric and loaded language used by the author and the speakers at the event. 1) Biden's statement that Trump has signaled 'there will be a bloodbath' if he doesn't win the election is an example of inflammatory rhetoric, as it implies violence without providing any evidence or context. 2) Obama's comment about Trump making Black people 'feel even better about the first Black president' is also an example of inflammatory rhetoric, as it implies that Trump holds a negative view of Black people and their achievements. 3) Barbra Streisand's statement that Biden 'honors the rule of law instead of trying to bend it to his own will' and her description of Trump as someone who 'wakes up every morning caring about one person and one person only – himself' are examples of loaded language, as they present a biased view of the two candidates without providing any evidence or context. 4) The author also uses the phrase 'Trump amnesia' to describe people forgetting the chaos and consequences of Trump's presidency, which is an example of a colloquialism that does not add any logical value to the article.
