House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is accusing YouTube of potentially repressing former President Trump’s interview with podcast host Joe Rogan.

In a letter to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pitchai sent late Wednesday, Jordan said the tech giant’s subsidiary ‘appears to have censored the video of Joe Rogan’s recent interview with President Donald Trump.’

‘We write to seek an immediate briefing on (1) YouTube’s decision to censor Joe Rogan’s interview with President Trump; and (2) Google Search’s elevation of material critical of the interview,’ Jordan wrote.

The Ohio Republican cited a New York Post report that said people were having difficulty finding the three-hour interview on YouTube.

‘Recent news coverage reports that ‘search[es] on YouTube using the terms ‘Joe Rogan Trump’ or ‘Joe Rogan Donald Trump’ did not bring up Friday’s three-hour sit-down at the top of the list,’’ the letter said

The report claimed the full interview was also ‘absent’ from YouTube’s trending videos page the following day.

Jordan also said YouTube acknowledged ‘censorship’ of the interview, referring to a statement posted to X earlier this week that read, ‘For some searches on Monday the original 3-hour interview didn’t appear prominently. Short excerpts uploaded by the Joe Rogan channel appeared, but we know it was frustrating for users looking to find the full video.’

‘We’ve worked to resolve this and viewers will begin seeing the full podcast in more YouTube search results soon,’ the statement said.

Jordan wrote in his letter to Alphabet, ‘Americans deserve access to political speech, especially in the closing weeks before an election.’

‘Given the company’s recent history of censorship, including at the behest of the Biden-Harris Administration, YouTube’s censorship of former President Trump is particularly troubling,’ he wrote.

‘Please arrange for this briefing as soon as possible, but no later than 10:00 am on November 14, 2024.’

Republicans have accused Google of censoring speech in the past. Most recently, the attorney general of Missouri said he would investigate the company, though Google called the accusations ‘totally false’ in a statement to Reuters.

As of late Wednesday evening, Rogan’s interview with Trump has over 41 million views on YouTube.

The Treasury Department finalized a crackdown that will prevent the U.S. from investing in the development of military technologies in China this week.

Hawks say the rule is ‘long overdue’ and not broad enough, while some are skeptical of taking U.S. investment power out of China.

The rule prohibits U.S. financing of some China-based ventures and requires Americans to notify the government of their involvement in others. 

It restricts and monitors American investments in artificial intelligence, computer chips and quantum computing, all of which have a dual use in the defense and commercial sectors. 

The rule seeks to limit the access ‘countries of concern’ like China, including Hong Kong and Macao, have to U.S. dollars to fund the development of high-level technologies like next-generation missile systems and fighter jets they could then utilize for their own military. It’s set to take effect Jan. 2.  

‘Artificial intelligence, semiconductors and quantum technologies are fundamental to the development of the next-generation of military, surveillance, intelligence and certain cybersecurity applications like cutting-edge code-breaking computer systems or next-generation fighter jets,’ said Paul Rosen, assistant secretary of the Treasury. 

‘This final rule takes targeted and concrete measures to ensure that U.S. investment is not exploited to advance the development of key technologies by those who may use them to threaten our national security.’ 

Existing U.S. regulations restrict the export of such products to China and other ‘countries of concern,’ and the new regulation cracks down on U.S. dollars pouring into such countries. 

The rule, finalized after a public comment period, builds on President Biden’s 2023 executive order. In one category, it will allow the Treasury to investigate and ban transactions that pose ‘a particularly acute national security threat because of [their] potential to significantly advance the military, intelligence, surveillance, or cyber-enabled capabilities of a country of concern.’

It would also create a category of ‘notifiable transactions’ that the government would monitor, those that ‘may contribute to the threat to the national security of the United States identified in the Order.’

Blocking China’s ambitions for tech supremacy is one of few bipartisan priorities in Washington. But not everyone is on board with the new rule.

‘The most well-known proponent of restricting American investment in China is, of course, Xi Jinping,’ said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., chair of the House Financial Services Committee.

‘I remain skeptical of a sectoral approach to regulating outbound investment. U.S. outbound investment to acquire Chinese companies enjoys overwhelming bipartisan support, as proven most recently by congressional action to wrest control of TikTok away from ByteDance.’

The chairman, who is retiring, added, ‘To have a strong, immediate and global impact on the CCP’s ability to wage war, policymakers in Congress and the administration must embrace our time-tested sanctions regime. I will continue to oppose efforts that unwittingly advance Chairman Xi’s crackdown on Western influence in China, and I look forward to examining this rulemaking in more detail.’

But others argue the rule is not nearly strong enough. It allows Americans to invest in publicly traded Chinese companies or participate in venture capital or private equity funds with stakes worth up to $2 million.

‘I think that this was a step forward, but, at the same time, it was a missed opportunity to signal deterrence towards China that we will not continue to fund their economy when they’re going to use their economic and military strength to go after Taiwan, to go after the Philippines, to go after Japan, to go after all of our friends and even military allies,’ Michael Lucci, founder of global security firm State Armor, told Fox News Digital. 

The rule ‘should be broader than just these three categories’ of AI, quantum computing and semiconductors, said Lucci. 

He criticized McHenry’s stance on the rule and said it rang similar to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s calls for American investment in China.

‘Chairman McHenry’s limp-wristed approach to China’s economic warfare upon America is pathetic. He remains in thrall to the long-discredited idea that we will somehow turn China into a liberal democracy if we keep dumping our money into their economy and propping up their hard-core Marxist regime,’ he said. 

‘Now, China is once again courting investment because Xi Jinping desperately needs U.S. capital to bail out China’s stagnating economy. America needs to stop playing this game and instead broadly divest from the CCP.’

But a House Republican aide familiar with outbound investments argued the U.S. should want Americans at the forefront of technology development in other countries. 

‘You want Americans controlling a company. You want Americans on the board. You want Americans having insights into the technologies that are being developed. And these are the very same arguments behind wanting American investors to own shares and to acquire control over a company like Tiktok, which is also a Chinese technology company,’ the aide said. 

‘China is the world’s largest exporter of capital. It certainly does not need dollars, and if we are concerned about these technologies being developed, the proper response is to kill any company that poses a threat to America’s national security, and the way you do that is either through sanctions or through export controls.’ 

U.S. investment in China has been on the decline for years amid a cooling of relations between the two world powers. U.S. venture capital in China reached a 10-year low of $1.3 billion in 2022, down from $14.4 billion in 2018, according to the Rhodium Group. 

Others criticized the Biden administration for waiting until the week before the election to finalize such a rule. 

Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Mich., the China select committee chair, called the new rule a ‘long overdue step.’ 

‘More must be done to ensure American money no longer fuels the Chinese Communist Party’s military build-up, its technological ambitions or its ongoing genocide,’ he said in a statement, adding Congress should ‘build on these rules and address a broader set of technologies and transactions that threaten our national security.’

‘The Biden-Harris administration has finally decided, just a week before the election, that it’s time to act tough on China,’ said Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky. 

Barr and Rep. French Hill, R-Ark., are two top contenders for the top Republican spot on the Financial Services Committee next Congress. Both emphasized that Congress needed to take further action to restrict U.S. investment in Chinese technologies. 

‘House Republicans continue to work to construct the most effective legislative approach that properly addresses the concerns many have regarding U.S. investment in Chinese-controlled dual-use technologies while also ensuring we don’t harm our economy,’ Hill said in response to the new rule. 

Many big-rig truckers are backing former President Trump this cycle, amid worries surrounding how a Harris administration would affect the crucial auto industry, a trucking company executive admitted. 

The presidential election is just five days away, and Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have presented different futures for the auto industry while on the campaign trail.

Mike Kucharski, co-owner and vice president of JKC Trucking, Chicago’s largest specialty contract carrier, said that there are five reasons truckers are more in favor of a Trump presidency this cycle: costs, increased regulatory burdens, infrastructure, driving range of the trucks and less cargo capacity due to the battery.

‘I personally don’t vote along party lines, but I support candidates with policies. And I would say policies are the gateway to truckers’ vote — policies that help small business thrive,’ Kucharski said in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital. ‘Right now, a lot of small business owners in the trucking industry are seriously concerned about Kamala Harris’ impact on our industry if she takes office.’

The number one issue, according to Kucharski, is costs. 

‘Truckers are already struggling to stay afloat due to issues like skyrocketing diesel costs. It’s pouring too much for diesel. Truckers are driving less miles, paying more for fuel,’ he said. ‘Another blow to truckers is this increased regulatory burdens. Truckers are overregulated.’

Kucharski added that truckers are supportive of electric trucks, but that the industry is not ready for mandates such as those being pushed under the Biden-Harris administration.

Harris’ campaign told Fox News Digital that she does not support electric vehicle mandates. However, the Biden-Harris Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced a final rule in March to require up to two-thirds of all new car sales to be electric by 2032. The agency also set a goalto require 40% of heavy-duty trucks to be zero-emissions by 2032.

The EPA previously projected the standards could lead to 50% of vocational trucks, 35% of short-haul tractor-trailers and 25% of long-haul tractor-trailers produced in 2032 being electric.

‘The small trucking companies simply can’t absorb these extreme costs. And people are saying the larger companies could do it. But I think they’re going to have an issue. It’s a great idea, but I don’t think it’s going to work,’ Kucharski said of the final rule.

Many truckers are supporting Trump this cycle because he offers an energy-independent future, Kucharski said.

‘Trump has a little different perspective,’ he added. ‘Donald Trump, during COVID, brought truckers to the White House and thanked them for being essential workers.’

‘Truckers really have hope that he’ll walk back on just some of these regulations, because we’re overregulating the trucking business,’ he said. ‘Truckers are very excited because when Trump was talking about the economic plan, he brought up tariffs. And Trump is saying that he wants to bring more businesses, more production back into the U.S., which would be awesome.’

Jeremy Kirkpatrick, spokesman for American Trucking Associations (ATA), told Fox that they will work with whichever candidate gets elected and will be an advocate for the industry.

‘The American Trucking Associations works with any officeholder who is willing to work with us. Regardless of the outcome, ATA will remain at the table and continue to advocate for commonsense, pro-trucking policies that strengthen the supply chain, grow the economy and deliver for the American people,’ he said.

Brian Pannebecker, founder of Auto Workers for Trump 2024, recently told Fox he thinks that many Rust Belt autoworkers, a traditional cornerstone of the blue voting base, will be voting Republican this cycle.

‘The Democrats have been shipping our jobs to Mexico and China for over 40 years, so this process has just come to a head now with Donald Trump, and he’s speaking our language. He knows what we want to hear, that he’s going to protect our industry before it completely disappears, and we’re going to vote for him in big numbers. I’m saying 65% to 70% of the UAW members are pulling the lever for Donald J. Trump,’ Pannebecker told FOX Business’ ‘The Bottom Line.’

Harris was endorsed by the United Auto Workers union in July, which said that ‘our job in this election is to defeat Donald Trump and elect Kamala Harris to build on her proven track record of delivering for the working class.’

FOX Business’ Taylor Penley contributed to this report.

The optics were perfect. The crowd was massive. The media reviews were glowing.

But there was a fundamental contradiction at the heart of Kamala Harris’ speech on the Ellipse that virtually no one is talking about. 

First, I’ll give the vice president her due. It was a well-written address and strongly delivered. It contained a fair amount of policy, such as Medicare payments for home health care and aid to first-time home buyers.

Harris acknowledged that many voters were just getting to know her. She mentioned her mom and her middle-class upbringing, as she always does. She said she’s not perfect and makes mistakes.

But the backbone of the speech was a two-fisted, no-holds-barred attack on Donald Trump.

Harris likened him to King George III as a ‘petty tyrant.’ She called him ‘unstable’ and ‘consumed with grievance.’ She said he’s seeking ‘unchecked power’ and is ‘obsessed with revenge.’

In short, after a 100-day campaign, Harris is still running as she did when she quickly seized the nomination, as the anti-Trump.

Now such rhetorical assaults can be traced to the dawn of the republic. You may not love me, but that other guy is so much worse.

That’s why she used the White House as a backdrop, standing at the spot where Trump gave his speech on Jan. 6, urging his supporters to go to the Capitol, where many proceeded to riot.

Fine. Fair game. Especially for a candidate who’s trying to win some Republican votes, aided by Liz Cheney, a number of former Trump officials and, as of yesterday, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But then the veep tried to make the pivot, presenting herself as the candidate of unity.

And therein lies the fatal flaw. You can’t beat the crap out of your opponent and, in practically the next breath, say you want to bring the country together. You can’t have it both ways. You can be an attack dog, but if you’re baring those teeth, you can’t suddenly be purring like a puppy.

Not that Harris didn’t have some good lines. Trump has an enemies list and she’ll have a to-do list. And of political opponents: ‘He wants to put them in jail. I’ll give them a seat at my table.’

The segue: ‘It is time to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms.’

But, um, she just spent a good chunk of her speech pointing fingers.

And then she kept circling back to Trump in the second half, such as when discussing abortion rights.

Harris also went beyond political exaggeration. ‘He tried to cut Medicare and Social Security every year he was president,’ she said. That is simply not true. But she gets very little fact-checking.

Overall, the speech was a plus for her, despite its clashing ideas. But make no mistake, she’s running as the alternative to a man she paints as dangerous.

As the Free Press put it: ‘This campaign is and always has been all about Trump. And it will be all about Trump all the way to the finish line now.’

But Harris’ big moment was marred by Joe Biden – the, ah, previous nominee – to the point where it almost seems like he’s trying to undermine her.

Last week, the president said of his predecessor, ‘Lock him up.’ Harris always says she’ll leave that to the courts.

And now, referring to the racist comic at the Madison Square Garden rally who called Puerto Rico an island of garbage, Biden said: ‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.’

The president stumbled for a couple of seconds and added: ‘His–his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.’

Boom. Too late. There were instant comparisons to Hillary Clinton’s ‘basket of deplorables’ swipe at Trump supporters in 2016.

Biden posted a clarification, saying he was referring only to comic Tony Hinchcliffe. (Trump says he doesn’t know the performer and didn’t hear the so-called joke.) 

The White House put out a transcript that included an apostrophe, as in ‘his supporter’s,’ trying to indicate that he was talking about one person. Who would have thought the campaign would turn on a lowly apostrophe? 

A reporter asked Harris about the Biden blunder yesterday before she boarded Air Force Two.

‘He clarified his comments, but let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for…I believe the work that I do is about representing people whether they support me or not.’

Kamala finally broke with the boss, wisely distancing herself from the blunder. No wonder she’s resisted his suggestions that they campaign together. He’s doing enough damage on his own, with some pundits even suggesting it’s deliberate. 

And that gave Trump an opening: ‘Now, on top of everything, Joe Biden calls our supporters ‘garbage.’ You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American people.’

It’s a distraction that Kamala Harris didn’t need in the final days of the campaign.

President Biden was photographed playfully biting at least two babies dressed in Halloween costumes at the White House trick-or-treat event on Wednesday evening.

Both children were carried by their mothers to visit the 81-year-old commander-in-chief, who didn’t seem to mind the interaction.

One baby who was dressed as a chicken even giggled after Biden took a faux nibble of his or her leg. The president then engaged in some easy banter with the baby’s mother.

As White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to spin President Biden’s remark calling Trump supporters ‘garbage,’ saying the ‘president for all’ would never speak badly about people that support Trump, Biden’s former comments about MAGA Republicans are coming back to haunt him.

During a press briefing on Wednesday, Jean-Pierre insisted that Biden was not calling Trump supporters garbage, but instead was calling comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico ‘garbage.’

‘He does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage. That is not what he views,’ the press secretary said of Biden. 

‘He has said multiple times that he is a president for all. It doesn’t matter if you live in a red state, it doesn’t matter if you live in a blue state. He has said it himself. I have said it on his behalf. He believes that he’s a president for all. And it doesn’t matter who you voted for, doesn’t matter if you voted for him or not. He’s a president for all. But hateful rhetoric, hateful rhetoric that he hears. And this is something that we’ve done many times from here. We will call that out. We will call that out.’

During a virtual call with Voto Latino, Biden was asked about Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden, which made headlines after Hinchcliffe told a joke, referring to Puerto Rico as a ‘floating island of garbage.’

He responded by saying, ‘Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community. He’s a failed businessman. He only cares about the billionaire friends that he has and accumulating wealth for those at the top. He says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country – give me a break. He wants to do away with the birthright citizenship. Who the hell has said that in the last hundred years? And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’ Well, let me tell you something. I don’t — I — I don’t know the Puerto Rican that — that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I’m fr- — in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.  It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.’

Now the White House is insisting that Biden would not speak badly about people that support Trump, but his past comments about MAGA Republicans seem to say otherwise.

Sept. 5, 2022 – Laborfest, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

On Sept. 5, 2022, Biden gave a Labor Day speech to workers in Milwaukee, where he went after MAGA Republicans and Trump supporters.

‘Look, extreme MAGA Republicans don’t just threaten our personal rights and our economic security, they embrace political violence,’ Biden said before attempting to clear up that he was only talking about MAGA Republicans and not all Republicans. ‘The definition of democracy is you accept the will of the people when votes are honestly counted. These guys don’t do it.’

He continued, referring to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., and saying MAGA Republicans in Congress continue to defend the ‘mob’ that stormed the building that day.

‘This was an attack on American democracy,’ he said. ‘We have to be stronger and more determined and more committed to saving American democracy than the MAGA Republicans and that guy… who are destroying democracy, because democracy is at stake.’

Sept. 9, 2022 – Democratic National Committee, Forest Heights, Maryland

While speaking at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in Forest Heights, Maryland, on Sept. 9, 2022, Biden sharpened his attacks against Trump and MAGA Republicans for posing a threat to democracy.

‘Extreme MAGA Republicans just don’t threaten our personal and economic rights; they embrace political violence,’ the president said. ‘Think about it. They refuse to accept the will of the people. They threaten our very democracy. They – and that’s not hyperbole – to this day, they defend the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.’

Oct. 23, 2022 – Interview with MSNBC 

During an interview on Oct. 23, 2022, with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart, Biden called out ‘mega MAGA’ Republicans who ‘think it’s alright to threaten violence.’

‘I think we’re at one of those inflection points in history, where we’ve reached a point where there has been such a division that you have what I call the mega MAGA republicans, who think that it’s all right to threaten violence… think that’s not inappropriate, talk about how they are concerned about security but yet you saw what happened on Jan. 6, the whole world saw it.’

He said the country had a leader who concluded the truth didn’t matter, then used the old modern version of ‘the old racist kind of baiting,’ seen 40 to 50 years ago, that Biden said, did not take it seriously.

Sept. 28, 2023 – Campaign Reception in Tempe, Arizona

Biden attended a campaign reception in Tempe, Arizona on Sept. 28, 2023, where again, he singled out MAGA supporters and accused them of posing a threat to democracy.

‘Their extreme agenda, if carried out, would fundamentally alter the institutions of American democracy as we know it,’ Biden said of MAGA republicans. ‘My friends, they’re not hiding their attacks; they’re openly promoting them. Attacking the free press as the enemy of the people. Attacking the rule of law as an impediment. Fomenting voter suppression and election subversion.

‘This MAGA threat is a threat to the brick and mortar of our democratic institutions,’ he later told attendees. ‘It’s also a threat to the character of our nation that gives our Constitution life, that binds us together as Americans, a common cause. None of this is surprising, though. They’ve tried to govern that way before. Thank God they failed. But they haven’t given up.’

When asked about the contradictions between Jean-Pierre’s statements on Wednesday and remarks made by Biden in the past against MAGA Republicans, the White House referred Fox News Digital to a speech given by the president on Sept. 1, 2022.

‘Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,’ Biden said at the time.

‘Now, I want to be very clear…very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans,’ the president continued. ‘But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.’

One of former President Trump’s largest super PACs on Wednesday launched a $50 million ad campaign across major cable networks and streaming service providers in all seven battleground states, making a ‘final pitch’ to key voters in the final sprint to Election Day. 

The ads, slated to air beginning Wednesday night, were funded by Make America Great Again, Inc., (or MAGA, Inc.) and previewed exclusively to Fox News before their release.

Each seeks to hit Vice President Kamala Harris by going after what the campaign views as her biggest weaknesses in the final stretch before the election.

One ad, titled ‘Are You Okay?’ features a clip from Harris’ remarks during the presidential debate against Trump this summer, when she spoke about her desire to put country over party.

‘As a prosecutor, I never asked, ‘are you a Republican or a Democrat,’ she said then. ‘The only thing I ever asked is, ’are you okay?”

The clip shows voters watching the footage of Harris, and responding bluntly with their biggest complaints about the job market, inflation and immigration — areas the campaign views as Harris’ biggest weaknesses heading into Election Day.

‘I’m working three jobs to get by,’ one person says in the ad. ‘Crime is out of control,’ says another.

The other ad, called ‘Broken Oath,’ appears to blame Harris directly for a litany of national security and foreign policy crises that unfolded over the last four years under the Biden administration, before urging voters to support Trump.

‘Our troops, murdered. An open border. Crime in our streets. Skyrocketing costs. Assassination attempts,’ a narrator says, adding, ‘We’re on the brink of World War III.’ 

The Trump campaign has repeatedly sought to blame Harris for what it sees as the biggest failures of the Biden administration. Trump has frequently used this to hit his opponent on the campaign trail, telling voters at recent rallies, ‘Kamala broke it. I will fix it.’ 

It is unclear how many of these policies — either at home or abroad — Harris could have exerted influence on in her role as vice president.

Since April, MAGA, Inc. has spent roughly $325 million in support of Trump’s re-election campaign. 

The super PAC has focused its resources primarily on boosting Trump’s standing in swing states — especially among voters in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada — four states where Trump narrowly lost to Biden in 2020.

Earlier this month, it announced $10 million in additional spending on ads aimed at winning over Black and Hispanic voters in these competitive districts — targeting voters living in the city centers of Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta. 

A spokesperson for the PAC told Fox News in a statement that the ads seek to drive home the message to voters that Trump will fix policy failings from the last four years. 

‘Put simply: The American people are not okay,’ Kaelan Dorr, a spokesperson for the PAC, told Fox News in a statement. Trump, he added, will ‘unite our country through success.’

President Biden sparked a political firestorm Tuesday after calling supporters of former President Trump ‘garbage,’ which could spell trouble for several incumbent Democratic senators running for re-election in key swing states where Trump is popular.

Fox News Digital reached out to five Democratic senators — Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Montana Sen. Jon Tester, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey and Arizona Senate candidate Ruben Gallego — for comment on Biden’s remarks.

‘Tammy Baldwin does not agree with President Biden,’ Andrew Mamo, Tammy Baldwin’s campaign spokesman, told Fox News Digital.

‘Tammy is fighting for all Wisconsinites no matter who they are or who they vote for.’

A Rosen spokesperson told Fox News Digital, ‘Sen. Rosen strongly disagrees with disparaging anyone based on who they vote for. As one of the most bipartisan and independent senators, she works hard to find common ground across party lines and represent all Nevadans.’

‘Jon Tester doesn’t agree with those comments and is proud to have the support of Montanans of all political stripes, including those who are voting for Donald Trump,’ said Monica Robinson, spokesperson for Montanans for Tester.

‘Sherrod doesn’t agree with that and fights for all Ohioans, regardless of who they vote for,’ Brown campaign spokesperson Matt Keyes told Fox News Digital.

‘I am running to represent all Arizonans, regardless of who they vote for,’ Gallego told Fox News Digital in a statement.

‘Sen. Casey respects all Pennsylvanians regardless of how they vote,’ Casey campaign spokesperson Maddy McDaniel told Fox News Digital.

Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin, running for Senate in the swing state of Michigan, spoke in opposition of Biden’s comment too. 

‘He shouldn’t have said it. It’s inappropriate,’ Slotkin said during an appearance on local radio Wednesday morning. ‘For me, I just think that kind of talk is the last thing we need in our politics.’

While all the Democrats Fox News Digital reached out to condemned Biden’s ‘garbage’ comment, some have disparaged Trump supporters, including Gallego and Brown. Gallego previously called Trump supporters ‘dumb’ and the ‘worst people in the world.’ Brown accused Trump’s supporters of ‘racism’ and said it ‘works for them.’

During a virtual Kamla Harris campaign call with Voto Latino, Biden took a swipe at former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, which made headlines after insult comedian Tony Hinchiffe made jokes mocking different ethnic groups. In one joke, he referred to Puerto Rico as a ‘floating island of garbage.’

‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,’ Biden said. ‘[Trump’s] demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it is un-American.’

His remarks were quickly likened to Hillary Clinton’s labeling of half of Trump supporters as belonging in ‘a basket of deplorables’ in 2016, a comment that was widely seen as undermining her campaign.

The White House attempted to clean up Biden’s remark.

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich President Biden ‘referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage.’’

‘The president was referencing a joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe in which he likened Puerto Rico to an island of floating ‘garbage’ in the middle of the ocean,’ he said.

‘So just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage, which is why he put this out and is why he wanted to make sure that we put out a statement that clarified what he meant and what he was trying to say. And, so, just want to make that very clear for folks who are watching,’ White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday.

VP Kamala Harris distanced herself from Biden’s remarks Tuesday.

‘I think that, first of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear. I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,’ Harris said.
