Biden clarifies 'garbage' comment after backlash from Trump supporters

President Joe Biden faced backlash after he appeared to call Donald Trump’s supporters "garbage" while criticizing a remark about Puerto Rico. He later clarified that he meant to address "hateful rhetoric" regarding Puerto Rico, not Trump supporters. Republicans, including Trump’s running mate Sen. J.D. Vance, condemned Biden's comments, claiming they insulted many Americans. Vance called the remarks "disgusting" and suggested they reflect poorly on the Biden administration. At a Trump rally, the former president reacted by saying Biden's comment was "terrible" and compared it to Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" remark from 2016, implying Biden's words were even worse.
