Biden's 'garbage' comment on Trump supporters sparks debate over voter impact
President Joe Biden's recent comment calling Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage” during a Zoom call has sparked debate. This remark followed a controversial statement made by a comedian at a Trump rally. Pollster Frank Luntz suggests Biden's words could impact undecided voters. Luntz noted that Biden's position as president gives his comments more weight than those of a comedian. He described Biden's remark as inappropriate and predicted it could boost Trump’s voter turnout, similar to the impact of Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" comment in 2016. Biden later attempted to clarify his statement, saying he was referring to the comedian's rhetoric, not all Trump supporters. The White House adjusted the transcript of Biden's remarks to reflect this clarification.
