Biden's 'garbage' comment on Trump supporters sparks comparisons to Clinton's 'deplorables' remark

President Joe Biden recently referred to Donald Trump’s supporters as "garbage" during a call with Voto Latino. This comment followed a rally where crude remarks were made about Puerto Rico. Biden clarified that he was condemning the hateful rhetoric at the event. Biden's remark has drawn comparisons to Hillary Clinton's 2016 "basket of deplorables" comment. Experts suggest Biden's statement is unlikely to have the same electoral impact, as he is not the candidate this time, and the MAGA base is already committed. The Trump campaign has criticized Biden's comment, questioning whether Vice President Kamala Harris will disavow it. Harris has been focusing on appealing to a broad voter base as she campaigns ahead of the upcoming election.
