Meghan McCain ripped President Joe Biden Tuesday night after his off-the-cuff comments calling Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage.” Biden’s comments came in the final week of a tense campaign in which Vice President Kamala Harris has slowly but steadily fallen in the polls – and overshadowed a rally in which she made her final appeal to voters. The departing president in a Zoom call with the organization Voto Latino said “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” referencing Trump. The comment met quick condemnation from Republicans and a mixture of horror and denial from Democrats.

I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania...

A fascist to the core.” Graham said, “I like General Milley, but I disagree with him.”

That’s according to the Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization that has led the fight to remove the dangerous plastic from the Pacific — most of which, it says, consists of discarded fishing equipment from Japan and China. The patch is one of the world’s most pressing environmental problems — one that Vice President Kamala Harris said, incorrectly, can be...
