Biden's off-script comments create distraction for Harris in final campaign push

President Joe Biden made off-script comments during a Zoom call, criticizing Donald Trump and referring to his supporters in a controversial manner. This incident occurred just days before the election and distracted from Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign efforts. Biden's remarks about Puerto Rico and Trump supporters drew backlash from Republicans, who accused him of insulting voters. Harris, trying to distance herself from Biden, emphasized her disagreement with criticizing people based on their political choices. Biden has been less active on the campaign trail since withdrawing from the presidential race in July. His recent gaffes have complicated Harris's campaign as she seeks to unify voters ahead of the election.
