President Joe Biden criticized Donald Trump's supporters during a call with the Hispanic group Voto Latino. He reacted to a comic's derogatory remark about Puerto Rico made at a Trump rally, calling the rhetoric "garbage" and condemning the demonization of Latinos. 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 promoting his administration's achievements while Vice President Kamala Harris aims to appeal to a broad audience, including disaffected Republicans. Biden emphasized the need to reject Trump, labeling him a danger to minority communities.
