The article reports on Joe Biden's family urging him to stay in the presidential race despite his poor debate performance. The author does not express any bias towards Biden or his opponents in the article. However, there are a few instances where the author quotes critics of Biden's debate preparation and performance, which could be perceived as having a slight negative slant. For example, John Morgan is quoted as saying 'he was over-coached, over-practiced.' This statement implies that Biden was prepared poorly for the debate. Additionally, there is a quote from an unnamed person who says 'What a bad decision to send him out looking sick and exhausted.' This statement could be perceived as critical of Biden's health and preparation. However, these quotes do not constitute significant bias and are outweighed by the overall neutral tone of the article.

The article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation.

This creates a biased and one-sided view of the situation, which manipulates readers' emotions by focusing on the negative aspects of Biden's campaign while ignoring any potential positives.
