Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently addressed President Joe Biden's remarks that seemed to refer to supporters of former President Donald Trump as 'garbage.' Walz clarified that Biden was specifically responding to the divisive rhetoric used by speakers at Trump's recent rally in New York.

During an interview, Walz emphasized that Biden's comments were a reaction to the inflammatory language used at the rally, particularly a speaker's derogatory reference to Puerto Rico. Walz defended Biden's response as a reflection of the frustration with Trump's divisive rhetoric and stated that it did not undermine Vice President Kamala Harris' commitment to governing on behalf of all Americans.
