Trump criticizes Harris for Biden’s ‘garbage’ comment


Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s comments that appeared to refer to Trump supporters as “garbage” at a rally in North Carolina before heading to Green Bay, Wisconsin. Biden’s comments were made during a Latino outreach event and were in response to remarks made at a Trump rally that referred to Puerto Rico as “garbage.” Trump capitalized on the incident, accusing Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of looking down on his supporters.

Trump’s campaign used the incident to counter criticism of his own rally where racist comments were made about Harris. Biden clarified his remarks, emphasizing that he was referring to hateful rhetoric and not Trump supporters. The back-and-forth highlighted heated race-based rhetoric less than a week before the election.

Some consequences of the incident included Puerto Rican singer Nicky Jam withdrawing his support for Trump and Harris being forced to distance herself from Biden’s comments. Trump’s campaign planned to use Biden’s remark aggressively against Democrats, similar to how Trump supporters embraced Hilary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment in 2016.

The incident overshadowed Harris’ closing argument rally and threatened to cloud her campaign. Ultimately, the exchange highlighted the contentious nature of the presidential race in the final days leading up to the election.
