Biden's 'garbage' comment on Trump supporters sparks backlash from Republicans and mixed reactions from Democrats

President Joe Biden's recent comment labeling Trump supporters as "garbage" has sparked outrage among Republicans and prompted mixed reactions from Democrats. Biden made the remark during an interview, drawing comparisons to Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" comment from 2016. Republicans quickly condemned Biden's statement, with figures like Elon Musk and Rep. Byron Donalds highlighting perceived disrespect towards Trump supporters. Trump reacted at a rally, joking that Biden likely didn't understand his own words. In response to the backlash, Biden clarified that he was referring to specific hateful rhetoric from a Trump supporter at a recent rally. The White House emphasized that Biden's comments were not meant to insult all Trump supporters.
