Biden's comments on Puerto Rico spark controversy and boost Trump campaign efforts
President Joe Biden's recent comments about Puerto Rico have sparked controversy just days before the election. During a virtual event, he criticized remarks made at a Trump rally, calling them "garbage," which has drawn comparisons to Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" comment in 2016. Biden's remarks have shifted focus away from Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign message. The Trump campaign quickly seized on the situation, claiming Biden's comments show disdain for Trump supporters, which could energize their base. The incident raises questions about Biden's role in the campaign, as he has been less visible recently. His gaffes have caused concern among Harris's team, highlighting the risks of misstatements in a tightly contested election.
