President Joe Biden faced backlash after criticizing racist remarks made at a Trump rally. He referred to Trump supporters as "garbage," which led to political controversy. Biden later clarified that he was addressing the hateful rhetoric, not the supporters themselves. Donald Trump responded by accusing Biden and Kamala Harris of running a "campaign of hate." He emphasized that Biden's comments showed disdain for Americans and compared it to Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" remark from 2016. Kamala Harris distanced herself from Biden's comments, stating she disagrees with criticizing people based on their voting choices. She reaffirmed her commitment to serve all Americans, as the election approaches with tight polling between her and Trump.
