Trump capitalizes on Biden's 'garbage' comment in final campaign push

time.com

In the final week of the presidential election, President Joe Biden's recent comment referring to some Trump supporters as "garbage" has sparked controversy. Trump quickly seized on this remark, using it to rally his supporters and criticize Biden's treatment of working-class Americans. At a rally in Green Bay, Trump highlighted Biden's gaffe, claiming it reflects a broader disdain for his supporters. He used a garbage truck as a prop, emphasizing the comment's impact on his campaign strategy. Trump's allies echoed this sentiment, linking Biden's words to past derogatory remarks about Trump supporters. Biden's team attempted to clarify his statement, asserting he did not mean to label Trump supporters directly. However, the incident has raised concerns about its potential effects on the campaign, particularly for Vice President Kamala Harris, as they strive to maintain a unifying message.
