Democratic senators distance themselves from Biden's 'garbage' comment on Trump supporters

President Biden's recent comment calling Trump supporters "garbage" has drawn backlash from Democratic senators in key swing states. Candidates like Tammy Baldwin and Sherrod Brown publicly disagreed with Biden, emphasizing their commitment to represent all constituents, regardless of political affiliation. The White House attempted to clarify Biden's remarks, stating he was referring to a comedian's joke rather than labeling Trump supporters directly. However, the incident has raised concerns among Democrats about its impact on their re-election campaigns in states where Trump has strong support. Other Democratic candidates, including Elissa Slotkin, also criticized Biden's comment as inappropriate. Despite this, some Democrats have previously made disparaging remarks about Trump supporters, complicating their responses to Biden's statement.
