Biden's 'Garbage' Comment Sparks Political Backlash

President Joe Biden faced backlash after calling Trump supporters 'garbage' during a virtual call, referencing rhetoric from a Trump rally. His comments drew comparisons to past controversial statements by Democratic figures and were seen as potentially damaging to Kamala Harris's campaign message of unity. Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz defended Biden, claiming the comments targeted a specific comedian rather than all Trump supporters, and emphasized Harris's inclusive campaign. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump, campaigning in North Carolina, criticized the Biden-Harris administration as 'failed and corrupt,' urging voters to 'turn the page' on their leadership. Trump also accused Democrats of weaponizing the government and demonizing his supporters. Harris has attempted to distance herself from Biden's remarks, with her campaign wary of joint appearances with him as the election approaches.
