Two House Republicans are investigating whether the White House illegally altered President Biden's comments about Trump supporters. They claim the revised transcript violates the Presidential Records Act and have requested all related documents from the White House. Biden's original remark suggested that "the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," which he later clarified was about a specific supporter. The White House stated Biden meant to refer to a single supporter, not all Trump supporters. The Republicans have called for a corrected transcript and criticized the White House for not apologizing. Vice President Kamala Harris has distanced herself from Biden's comments, stating she disagrees with criticizing voters based on their choices.
