Republicans leverage Biden's 'garbage' remark to boost Senate campaigns

Republican candidates are using President Biden's recent comments, where he referred to Trump supporters as "garbage," to rally support in tight Senate races. Pennsylvania candidate Dave McCormick released an ad featuring Biden's remarks alongside praise for Biden from his opponent, Sen. Bob Casey. Biden's comments were made during a campaign call and have drawn criticism from Republicans, who compare them to Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" remark in 2016. The White House later clarified that Biden's statement was aimed at specific hateful rhetoric from a Trump rally, not all Trump supporters. In response, McCormick condemned Biden's remarks as divisive and called for an apology. Vice President Kamala Harris also distanced herself from Biden's comments, emphasizing her commitment to represent all Americans regardless of their political views.
