President Joe Biden criticized Donald Trump's supporters, calling them "garbage" in response to a derogatory comment made at a Trump rally about Puerto Rico. This remark contrasts with the unifying message that Vice President Kamala Harris is promoting. Biden's comments drew immediate backlash from Republicans, including Trump, who claimed Biden insulted everyday Americans. Some Democrats also distanced themselves from Biden's remarks, recalling similar controversial comments made by Hillary Clinton in 2016. As Election Day approaches, Biden is focusing on promoting his administration's achievements while Harris aims to attract disaffected Republicans. Biden emphasized the need to reject Trump, stating he poses a danger to minority communities.
