Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article claims that President Biden has clinched the Democratic nomination with a win in Georgia. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that there was only one primary contest and no other candidates were running for president on the Democratic ticket. In reality, there were two longshot challengers to Biden's candidacy - Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota and author Marianne Williamson - but he has won every Democratic primary and caucus thus far except for in American Samoa where he split delegates with venture capitalist Jason Palmer.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that CBS News estimates Biden has won the Democratic nomination after winning in Georgia and Mississippi. However, this is not a definitive statement as there are still other states left to vote and it's possible for another candidate to win more delegates than Biden before the final count. Secondly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Trump poses a greater threat than ever in 2024. This is an opinion and not based on any evidence presented in the article. Thirdly, there are several instances of dichotomous depiction where Biden's campaign is portrayed as being successful while Trump's campaign is portrayed as struggling despite both campaigns facing similar challenges such as waning enthusiasm from their winning coalition in 2020.

Additionally, there are several examples of dichotomous depictions throughout the article, such as when it describes Georgia as a pivotal swing state that could decide the general election battle between Biden and Trump.
