Former President Donald Trump has handily defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in Florida.

Polls showed that the race was getting closer, with Trump beating Vice President Harris by as little as a few points in some places. This made Democrats want to win the Sunshine State.

However, it didn’t look like they could actually get it. All big pollsters still found that Trump was ahead in the polls.

This comes as President Joe Biden was unceremoniously dumped by the Democrat Party and Vice President Kamala Harris.

After his controversial comment that sounded to many as if he was calling all of former President Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage,” he has been removed from doing any campaigning for the Democrat presidential nominee.

“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 from– in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people,” the president said on a video call campaigning for his vice president.

“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,” he said.

His staff later edited the comment to place an apostrophe in the word “supporter’s” as if he was referring to one person, which does not make grammatical sense in the context of the sentence.

He then took to X, formerly Twitter, to issue a clarification on his comments.

“Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation,” he said.

The supporter he was referencing was insult comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” at the former president’s rally at Madison Square Garden.

But his attempt to fix what he said did not work for his vice president’s campaign which has removed him from doing any more campaigning, Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich said on Friday evening on “Special Report.”

“While Harris campaigns in Wisconsin, President Biden was hundreds of miles away talking to union workers in Philadelphia at an official event. Tonight, Fox News has learned multiple campaign calls that were publicly advised on the president’s schedule for yesterday afternoon were canceled as he faces continuing fallout over his “garbage” comment on a Zoom earlier this week,” the reporter said.

“None of the calls that had been scheduled were officially sanctioned by or affiliated with the Harris campaign. Biden has no official campaign events on his schedule ahead of the election,” she said.

Republicans seized on the comments from the president and are now launching an investigation into the edits made by the president’s staff.

“The White House cannot simply rewrite President Biden’s rhetoric. In this case, it appears the White House is doing so to safeguard Vice President Harris’s presidential campaign. Recent reporting has since revealed ‘White House press officials altered the official transcript,’” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik said in a joint press release.

“Meanwhile, White House stenographers already submitted an accurate version—a version different than the White House publicly released—to the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The reporting also noted that a government official called the actions of the White House ‘a breach of protocol and spoliation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices,’” they added.

“Most notably, the report reveals the change in protocol came after the White House Press Office ‘conferred with the President.’ That President Biden himself may have interfered to break protocol to hide his outrageous remarks is unprecedented,” the two Republican lawmakers said.

“We are concerned with the latest reporting of the White House’s apparent political decision to protect the Biden-Harris Administration, instead of following longstanding and proper protocols,” the pair added.

“We question whether the White House’s decision to create a false transcript and manipulate or alter the accurate transcript that was produced to NARA may be in violation of federal law, including the Presidential Records Act of 1978,” the lawmakers said.
