Kamala campaign sidelined Biden, canceled his campaign calls after his 'garbage' comment: report

Just as President Joe Biden was dumped by the Democratic Party and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as he struggled to continue his presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris has similarly distanced Biden from her presidential campaign.

Biden was reportedly removed from several campaign calls after he made his remark about supporters of former President Donald Trump being “garbage,” according to The New York Post.

“Thursday, October 31, 2024: In the afternoon, the President will participate in campaign calls,” the White House advised reporters on Sunday. Biden was either a no-show or was no longer welcome on those calls because he did not participate, according to The Post. Biden has apparently not been invited to attend any of Harris's “Get-Out-the-Vote” star-studded events on Monday. The president’s name does not appear on any of the promotional material from the Harris campaign.

The trouble for Biden all started when he attempted to vilify Trump and his Madison Square Garden rally due to the appearance of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who cracked a joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage.”

That set off Biden, who made remarks Tuesday night on a Zoom call with Voto Latino that Trump supporters were “garbage.” Democratic donor Vinod Khosla, who is a massive Harris donor and the co-founder of tech company Sun Microsystems, then said that "Garbage is an understatement for MAGA extremists,” he posted on X, prompting a rebuke from Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).
