Biden's off-script remarks distract from Harris's campaign efforts ahead of Election Day

President Joe Biden made off-script comments during a campaign call, criticizing Donald Trump and referring to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." This remark distracted from Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign efforts just days before Election Day. Biden's comments drew backlash from Republicans, who accused him of insulting Trump supporters. He later clarified that he was condemning Trump's treatment of Latinos, but the incident added to ongoing tensions within the campaign. Harris has been working to distance herself from Biden, actively seeking support from Republican voters. Biden's recent gaffes have complicated her efforts, as he has occasionally overshadowed her campaign events and made confusing statements about their roles.
