KAMALA Harris's campaign got a boost from the Terminator after Joe Biden referred to Donald Trump's supporters as "garbage".

Joe & the refuse..

Former action movie star and Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger crossed party lines and endorsed Harris for president.

He warned a second Trump presidency would sow division and lead to "four more years of bullsh**.” Schwarzenegger, 77, became famous as the Terminator, who travelled back in time to change history.

Democrats will be hoping his endorsement has a similar effect as they attempted to move on from Biden's ill-timed remarks.

The "garbage" comment brought back uncomfortable memories of 2016, when Hillary Clinton referred to Trump voters as "deplorables" - regarded as a key moment in the right-wing tycoon's successful election campaign.

Yesterday, Trump's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, exploited Biden's comment, saying: "There's no way to spin it - Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don't just hate Trump, they despise tens of millions of Americans."

And Florida senator Marco Rubio told a Trump rally in Pennsylvania: "Joe Biden stated that our supporters, our patriots, are garbage. He's talking about Americans who love their country."

The state's Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, said: "I would never insult the people of Pennsylvania or any Americans if they chose to support a candidate I didn't support." In Washington, Harris told a gathering of 75,000 supporters she would be a president for all Americans.
