President Joe Biden declared supporters of former President Donald Trump to be “garbage” during a campaign call Tuesday night.
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said, according to NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez.
“Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage,” Biden continued, referencing remarks that were made at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the weekend by an insult comedian.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said.
The remarks from Biden in the final days of the 2024 presidential election undercut the message about “joy” and “turning the page” that his vice president, Kamala Harris, is pushing as the Democrat presidential nominee.

Donald Trump Jr. responded to the remarks by saying: “Holy s***. The media spent all week crying about a joke from a comedian.”
“Meanwhile, Tim Walz called Trump supporters Nazis,” he continued. “Kamala Harris refused to condemn it. And now Kamala’s biggest Democrat ally, Joe Biden, is calling all Trump supporters ‘garbage.’ Absolutely disgusting!!!”
