Kamala Harris firmly stated her disagreement with any criticism based on whom individuals support at the polls. This response came after President Joe Biden's controversial remarks referring to Trump supporters as "garbage." Harris emphasized her commitment to representing all Americans, regardless of their vote.

Biden's comments, initially made during a campaign call, were intended to criticize rhetoric rather than the individuals supporting Trump. The White House rushed to clarify this point. However, Republicans have likened Biden's words to Hillary Clinton's 2016 comment about Trump's supporters as "deplorables," while also overlooking Trump's often incendiary remarks.

As the Democratic camp strives to maintain a message of inclusivity, Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, reiterated that divisive rhetoric, especially from figures like Trump, should end. They communicated this message clearly in television interviews, advocating for a united approach among American citizens.
