Six days until Election Day, much of the political debate is about "garbage."
First, the backlash over a comedian's racist comments about Puerto Rico that former President Donald Trump has not apologized for -- and now President Joe Biden appearing to call Trump's supporters "garbage" and stepping on Vice President Kamala Harris' message of unity aimed at attracting disaffected Republicans.
As of 5:45 a.m. ET on Wednesday, more than 53 million Americans have voted early, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.
Of the total number of early votes, 27,765,237 were cast in person and 25,686,627 were returned by mail.

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening returned to a Hispanic-majority town in eastern Pennsylvania after a comedian at Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden over the weekend sparked controversy by making racist jokes about Latinos, including calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage."
Trump's rally took place in Allentown, Pennsylvania, a city of more than 125,000 people where the Hispanic population makes up 55% of the total, according to the U.S. Census data, with much of that number being Puerto Ricans.
"If we win Pennsylvania, we're going to win the whole deal," he told his supporters.

Vice President Kamala Harris urged voters Tuesday to "start writing the next chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told" by rejecting former President Donald Trump.
"The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised," Harris said. "In seven days, we have the power, each of you has the power, to turn the page, and start writing the next chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told," she added.
