Summary

Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance faced intense backlash after calling Vice President Kamala Harris “trash” during a rally in Atlanta, a comment that MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace described as a major misstep.

Wallace and other commentators noted that such rhetoric, following Vance’s past controversial remarks about “childless cat ladies,” could alienate female voters—a demographic the Republican ticket already struggles with.

The “trash” comment is part of a broader trend among Trump’s supporters, who have recently used “garbage” imagery in their rhetoric.
