Biden's Gaffe Sparks Backlash Amid Election Campaign

President Joe Biden's recent gaffe, referring to Trump supporters as 'garbage,' has sparked significant political backlash and media attention. The comment, intended to criticize a comedian's derogatory joke about Puerto Rico, was quickly seized upon by Republicans, including Donald Trump and GOP strategist Frank Luntz, who likened it to Hillary Clinton's 'basket of deplorables' remark in 2016. This controversy has forced Vice President Kamala Harris to distance herself from Biden's statement as she aims to solidify her campaign position. Meanwhile, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker attempted to downplay the incident, suggesting Biden's words were misunderstood. Despite Biden's clarification that his comments targeted the comedian's rhetoric, the incident remains a distraction for the Democrats as they approach the final days of a closely contested election. Both Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy have capitalized on the situation, engaging in public stunts to criticize Biden's remark.
