A senior adviser for Kamala Harris’ campaign recently came to the defense of President Joe Biden following his controversial “garbage” comment. The adviser, Stephanie Cutter, emphasized that voters are familiar with President Biden and his sentiments towards the American people.
During an interview, Cutter expressed her confidence in President Biden's unwavering support for the strength and optimism of the American people. She highlighted his spirited nature and commitment to uplifting the nation.
Furthermore, Cutter underscored Vice President Harris' independent campaign efforts, emphasizing her dedication to building a coalition that transcends party lines. Regardless of political affiliations, Harris aims to advocate for all Americans and has made her intentions clear.
Addressing the backlash that ensued from Biden's remarks, which some interpreted as derogatory towards Trump supporters, Cutter clarified that the focus should be on the vice president's inclusive approach to her campaign. She hinted at Harris addressing the issue directly in due course.
President Biden's comment was made in response to remarks about Puerto Rico during a Trump rally, where he stated, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” The statement triggered immediate criticism and raised concerns about the implications of such language.
