Harris vows to represent all Americans after Biden's remarks on Trump supporters
Kamala Harris has responded to President Biden's controversial remarks about Donald Trump's supporters, stating she disagrees with criticizing people based on their voting choices. She emphasized her commitment to represent all Americans, regardless of their political affiliation. The controversy arose after Biden criticized Trump’s rally, where derogatory comments about Puerto Rico were made. Biden's comments were interpreted as targeting Trump’s supporters, prompting backlash from Republicans who compared it to Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" remark in 2016. Harris made her statements while campaigning in three states, aiming to clarify the Democratic message. Her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, also defended Biden, asserting that he was addressing the rhetoric, not the supporters themselves.
