The White House reportedly canceled several planned campaign calls involving Joe Biden after his recent “garbage” comment targeting supporters of former President Donald Trump.

President Joe Biden makes remarks at the Department of Public Works Field Headquarters on Tuesday October 8, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wis.

According to a Fox News report, the White House’s public schedule initially listed Biden as participating in campaign calls on Thursday, October 31, but the president, 81, did not take part.

It remains unclear whether the organizations hosting these scheduled Zoom calls continued without the president.

This development follows Biden’s controversial remarks made during a Tuesday call with Voto Latino. During the call, Biden referred to Trump’s supporters as “garbage” in response to a comedian’s remarks at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

Biden had said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” referencing the comedian’s comparison of Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage.”

Biden later clarified that his comment referred to the comedian’s joke, though the White House quickly made an adjustment to the official transcript by adding an apostrophe to “supporter’s,” implying Biden was referring to the comedian instead of Trump’s supporters in general. The White House declined to comment further.

The comment became a flashpoint in the election, prompting Trump to respond at a rally in Wisconsin the following day.

Dressed in a garbageman’s vest and standing beside a garbage truck, Trump told his supporters, “Kamala [Harris] and Joe [Biden] call us garbage. I call you the heart and soul of America.”

The incident is the latest in a series of exchanges between the Biden and Trump campaigns in the lead-up to Election Day.

Earlier this month, Biden also made headlines when he appeared to suggest that Trump should be imprisoned during a campaign event in New Hampshire. “If I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up: We gotta lock him up,” Biden said before clarifying seconds later, “Politically, lock him up — lock him out, that’s what we’ve got to do.”

Trump has since highlighted Biden’s statements, using them to energize his base at rallies. His legal team has even cited Biden’s “lock him up” comment in a legal brief arguing for the dismissal of the federal 2020 election case against Trump, asserting that the remarks indicate political bias.

As the election nears, the absence of Biden from scheduled campaign events has been noted, with no official campaign appearances listed for Harris on Biden’s schedule in the days leading up to Election Day.
