Kamala Harris delivered a primetime speech near the White House, aiming to contrast her campaign with Donald Trump's. However, President Joe Biden's gaffe during a separate event overshadowed her message, causing confusion and backlash. Biden mistakenly referred to Trump supporters in a negative light while discussing offensive remarks made at Trump's rally. His comments were quickly criticized and used by the Trump campaign to attack both him and Harris. In response, Harris distanced herself from Biden's remarks, stating she disagrees with criticizing voters based on their choices. This incident has created an unwanted distraction for her campaign just days before the election.
