Democrats distance themselves from Biden after 'garbage' remark about Trump supporters
Democrats are distancing themselves from President Biden after he called Trump supporters "garbage" during a fundraising call. This remark has drawn comparisons to Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" comment, prompting backlash from party members. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Vice President Kamala Harris both criticized Biden's comments. Shapiro stated he would never insult voters, while Harris emphasized her commitment to representing all Americans, regardless of their political choices. The White House attempted to clarify Biden's statement, asserting he was referring to hateful rhetoric at a Trump rally. However, the incident has complicated the Democrats' message of unity as they approach the election.
