Biden clarifies comments after Trump claims he insulted supporters
U.S. President Joe Biden faced backlash after comments he made about racist remarks at a Trump rally. He intended to criticize the remarks but was accused by Trump and Republicans of labeling Trump supporters as "garbage." Biden clarified his statement, emphasizing he was referring to the hateful rhetoric from Trump supporters, not the supporters themselves. He stated that such comments do not represent American values. Republicans, including Trump, compared Biden's remarks to Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" comment in 2016. The political climate is tense as Biden's Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is in a close race against Trump ahead of the November 5 election.
