Walz says Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” doesn’t undermine Harris’ message of unity.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz says Kamala Harris’ message of unity has not been undermined by President Joe Biden calling Donald Trump supporters “garbage.”

Walz said Wednesday on “CBS Mornings” that Biden “has been clear that he’s talking about the rhetoric that we’ve heard, so he’s not disputing it.”

Harris made the case for her candidacy in a speech Tuesday night in Washington, D.C., in which she promised to be an inclusive president.

During a Tuesday call organized by a Latino advocacy group, Biden said the “only trash” he sees there are Trump supporters. On Sunday, during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, he responded to a comic in which he said Puerto Rico was a “floating island of garbage.”

Biden later clarified his remarks, stating in a post on the X social media platform that he was referring to “hateful rhetoric against Puerto Rico by a Trump supporter” during the rally.

Walz was also asked about Biden’s comments when he appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and said the president had issued a clarification.

“Let’s be clear: the vice president and I have made it clear that we want everyone to participate in this. Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric must end,” Walz said.

The two final arguments show a clear choice between Trump and Harris

NEW YORK – In the shadow of the White House, seven days before the final votes are cast in the 2024 election, Kamala Harris he promised to put country above party and warned that Donald Trump is obsessed with revenge and self-interest.

Inside less than 48 hours earlier Madison Square GardenTrump called his Democratic opponent “a train wreck that destroyed everything in its path.” His allies on stage called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” and made unsubstantiated claims that Harris, a former prosecutor and senator who is seeking to become the first woman elected president, began her career as a prostitute.
