Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy drew a striking parallel between President Joe Biden 's controversial comments about Trump supporters and Hillary Clinton 's infamous "basket of deplorables" remark from 2016. Ramaswamy said, "Here's the October surprise . It just arrived. This is the basket of deplorables moment," suggesting that Biden's words could have major repercussions for Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.
Ramaswamy's comments came in the wake of Biden's response to a racially charged joke made at a Trump rally in New York, where a speaker referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." Biden, while addressing the situation, stated, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," a remark that sparked backlash and accusations of alienating voters.
Reflecting on the broader political implications, Ramaswamy expressed a sense of cynicism regarding Biden's comments. "It might look like Joe Biden's usual cognitive deficits kicked in," he said. He said that Biden's family may secretly be rooting for Trump rather than Kamala Harris, citing their "vengeful" feelings about Biden being forced to pull out from the presidential campaign.
Ramaswamy said that the Democratic leadership is "flailing," recognising that "Americans are not falling for their trick anymore." He said, "Donald Trump has a record that he's running on".
Talking about the run up to the elections Ramaswamy said, "You’re going to hear a lot about threats to democracy in the next week." Ramaswamy argued that the Democrats' current predicament signals a potential turning point, remarking, "The wheels are coming off the car."
In the wake of Biden's remarks, Republicans quickly seized the opportunity to rally support. Trump himself highlighted Biden's comments, emphasizing, "He’s talking about everyday Americans who love their country." Meanwhile, some Democrats distanced themselves from the President's rhetoric, with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro stating he would "never insult the good people of Pennsylvania."
