Aakhir Tak – In Depth

The 2024 U.S. presidential election took an unexpected turn when President Joe Biden referred to Donald Trump’s supporters as “garbage.” Seizing this opportunity, Trump made a statement at a Wisconsin rally, arriving in an orange vest and stepping out of a garbage truck labeled with a “Trump” campaign sign. This bold move resonated with his supporters and sparked widespread social media attention.

Trump compared Biden’s comment to Hillary Clinton’s infamous 2016 remark calling Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables,” which hurt her campaign. “Biden has finally said what he and Kamala Harris really think of our supporters,” Trump declared at a North Carolina rally. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, aiming to win over moderate voters, distanced herself from Biden’s statement and emphasized unity, saying, “I will always listen to you, even if you don’t vote for me.”

Public response was mixed. Some saw Trump’s move as a strategic masterstroke, while others were critical of Biden’s choice of words. As the election approaches, Trump’s effective use of this issue could shape the final outcome of the campaign.
