The President of the United States, Joe Biden, sparked controversy this week by labeling the supporters of Republican candidate Donald Trump as "trash." This comment has intensified the pre-election contest, where Biden is seeking re-election and Trump is aiming for another term.
Biden's criticism has been responded to by Trump, who has tried to distance himself from the president's words and from the White House. The situation has become even more tense with the intervention of Vice President Kamala Harris, who has attempted to ease the conflict generated by these statements.
Amid an already charged political climate, Biden's words have stoked the flames of confrontation between the supporters of both candidates. This new clash adds to a long list of disputes that characterize the electoral campaign in the United States.
--- "Each of us, even those with whom we disagree, is a human being and deserves respect," Biden said in an attempt to soften his statements and advocate for tolerance amid the controversy.
