Biden Steps in It: Calls Trump Backers ‘Garbage’

There’s a reason Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly been trying to duck her boss, President Joe Biden, in the final days of the 2024 election campaign. Biden caused an uproar on Tuesday while attempting to boost Harris by piggybacking off a joke a comedian used at GOP nominee Donald Trump’s massive rally in New York City on Sunday.

Loose Cannon on Deck: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.” Biden said, according to an official White House transcript that sought to change the meaning of the word “supporters.” The administration immediately tried to backpedal from the comment. “Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage – which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” a post on Biden’s X account read. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.” Related: Kamala tries to out-Trump Trump.

Harris Bashes ‘Tyrant’ Trump in ‘Closing Argument’

On Tuesday, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris addressed a throng of backers at the Ellipse, located near the White House in Washington, DC. Harris pointedly chose the location for her “closing argument” before next Tuesday’s election because it is where former President Donald Trump gave his speech on Jan. 6, 2021.

‘Divided and Afraid’: “Look, we know who Donald Trump is. He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election,” Harris exclaimed. Trump “has spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other,” she added. Harris repeatedly tried to paint Trump as a budding “tyrant” and “wannabe dictator.” “In less than 90 days, either Donald Trump or I will be in the Oval Office,” she said. “On Day One, if elected, Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemies list. When elected, I will walk in with a to-do list.” Related: 100 days of silence: Kamala Harris shuns an adoring press.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker Funds Abortion Push in 8 States

The wealthy Democratic Gov. of Illinois, JB Pritzker, is the leading financial force behind a movement to pass pro-abortion ballot initiatives in eight states across the nation. Pritzker’s “nonprofit group, Think Big America — which has already invested millions of dollars in abortion-rights initiatives in four states — just expanded into four more states where questions are on the ballot: Maryland, South Dakota, Nebraska and Missouri, according to plans first shared with NBC News,” the network reports.

Big Outside Bucks: “The group previously donated seven figures separately in Arizona, Florida and Nevada, which all are attempting to codify abortion rights in their states,” NBC writes. “In the rest of the states, which also include Montana, the investments are in the six figures. Think Big would not provide more specifics about donation amounts; a recent filing in South Dakota revealed last week it gave $500,000.” Related: Democrats lean on abortion again – but it isn’t 2022 anymore.
