United States President Joe Biden on Tuesday, October 30, strongly condemned comments made at a rally supporting Republican candidate Donald Trump, calling some of his followers “trash” for being racist and anti-immigrant.
NBC News reported this.
At a rally in New York, Trump made anti-immigrant statements and his supporters also had some harsh words. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, for example, made a provocative statement calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”
During a video call with Latino voters, Biden expressed his support for the Puerto Rican community and appeared to respond to comments from rally participants by emphasizing: “The people of Puerto Rico are good and decent people. The only thing I see as garbage is the hateful rhetoric of his followers.” Biden added that racist comments and demonization of Latinos go against American values.
The White House administration later clarified Biden’s words by sending a transcript that emphasized that the president called trash not Trump supporters themselves, but specific offensive statements made at the Madison Square Garden rally.
The official White House transcript must be corrected immediately. Note the use of the apostrophe in the transcription.

Cursor also reported that Senator JD Vance disgraced himself by speaking about Israel’s conflict with Iran.
Additionally, we talk about the chances of Trump and Harris winning the US elections.
Currently, according to polls, Donald Trump maintains a leading position in key states such as Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. In Georgia and Wisconsin, he and Kamala Harris have almost the same number of votes, and in Michigan the Democratic representative remains ahead.
Reuters analysts suggest Harris could win more popular votes nationally, but that won’t necessarily ensure her victory. The American electoral system is based on the votes of 538 electors in each state. This factor was especially notable in the 2016 election, when Hillary Clinton received three million more votes than Trump, but lost because she did not receive the required number of voters.
Harris has distanced herself from President Joe Biden in recent weeks, emphasizing that her approach is “not a continuation of his.” He avoids joint appearances with Biden, but continues to maintain a similar position, blaming Trump for dangerous policies that he believes threaten both the country and the world.
Right now, Trump is focused on fighting illegal immigration, promising mass deportations, and is also considering abolishing income taxes to attract new voters.
