WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden tried to explain this week that he doesn’t really think Donald Trump’s supporters are “garbage,” but that doesn't mean that other people don't believe the label occasionally fits.
“I would say that some of them are garbage,” said Samantha Leister, 32, who went to see Kamala Harris at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
As for the rest of them? Leister, whose parents and father-in-law are backing Trump, says they are “misguided.”
That same day, at Trump's rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the idea of voting for Harris was impossible to fathom.
