They felt undermined in their effort when Biden soon came out and appeared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/30\/harris-biden-garbage-comments-analysis\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">refer to Trump\u2019s supporters<\/a> as \u201cgarbage\u201d, giving Republicans the opportunity to express offense in the press.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Biden\u2019s subsequent clarification that he meant to only single out Trump\u2019s \u201csupporter\u2019s \u2026 demonization of Latinos\u201d \u2013 meaning the comedian\u2019s \u2013 rang hollow.<\/p>\n<figure data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.NewsletterSignupBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><a data-ignore=\"global-link-styling\" href=\"#EmailSignup-skip-link-12\" class=\"dcr-jzxpee\">skip past newsletter promotion<\/a><\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"newsletter promotion\" class=\"dcr-av5vqf\">\n<div class=\"dcr-10et71f\">\n<p class=\"dcr-rsfwa\">Sign up to <span>The Stakes \u2014 Presidential Transition<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dcr-1xjndtj\">We will guide you through the aftermath of the US election and the transition to a Trump presidency<\/p>\n<p><gu-island name=\"SecureSignup\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;newsletterId&quot;:&quot;the-stakes-us-election-edition&quot;,&quot;successDescription&quot;:&quot;We will guide you through the aftermath of the US election and the transition to a Trump presidency&quot;}\"\/><span class=\"dcr-1eusqlu\"><strong>Privacy Notice: <\/strong>Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.

The post from Plouffe \u2013 who guided Barack Obama\u2019s successful 2008 run for the presidency \u2013 was widely interpreted as a dig against Biden for dropping out long after critics had first pressured him to do so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Plouffe subsequently deleted his X account.
