Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s remarks where he appeared to call Trump supporters “garbage” during a Latino outreach call. Trump responded during a rally in North Carolina and Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he was met with a garbage truck decorated with Trump flags. Trump emphasized that Biden and Kamala Harris cannot lead America if they do not love Americans. Biden later clarified that he was referring to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico by a Trump supporter at a rally. The comments offered a distraction for Trump, who had been facing criticism for a crude and racist event at Madison Square Garden. Trump distanced himself from the comedian who made the offensive joke about Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican singer Nicky Jam withdrew his support for Trump after the incident. Trump’s campaign planned to use Biden’s remarks to hit Democrats aggressively. The comments overshadowed a closing argument rally by Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris distanced herself from Biden’s comments, emphasizing disagreement with criticism based on who people vote for. This exchange marked a heated turn in the race-based rhetoric less than a week before Election Day.
