Watch again as Vice President Kamala Harris held a campaign rally in North Carolina on Wednesday (30 October).

With less than a week to go in the US presidential election race, Harris and Donald Trump are making their final pitches to voters, with both appearing in battleground North Carolina.

The Democratic presidential nominee has been forced to respond to Joe Biden inadvertently whipping up a conservative media storm by seemingly calling Trump’s supporters “garbage” in response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s already-notorious Madison Square Garden joke about Puerto Rico.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American,” the president told Latinos on a Zoom call on Tuesday.

Harris told reporters on Wednesday that she “strongly” disagrees with any criticism of the public based on their voting intentions.
