If you're just joining us, you might be hearing for the first time that Joe Biden has triggered a row with Republicans in recent hours. It started shortly after Kamala Harris finished delivering her big campaign speech in Washington DC.

Speaking on a Zoom event with voters earlier, Biden said of Puerto Ricans: "They're good, decent, honourable people.” He then appeared to say: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters... his, his demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable."

Republicans say Biden was referring to all Trump supporters as "garbage" - while Biden and the White House say he was referring specifically to a comedian who attacked Puerto Rico at Donald Trump's rally, and "hateful rhetoric" against the island.

When the White House released a transcript of Biden's comments, they included an apostrophe in the word "supporter's" - which would signify the president was talking about a specific person rather than a full group.
