Yes, the trachea would collapse in this situation.
The trachea is a tube composed of cartilage which connects the pharynx and larynx to the lungs. It is a critical structure for all air-breathing animals and its main responsibility is to facilitate the passage of air. The trachea is surrounded by several c-shaped and incomplete cartilaginous rings which prevent it from collapsing.

The answer is YES. The trachea would collapse during exhaling due to the negative pressure developed as a result of evacuating air from the lungs. Physics dictates that the area with high pressure (outside environment) pressure on the region with low air pressure (in the lungs during exhalation).

Answer:

On Tuesday night, CNN's Don Lemon asked former Georgia state senator (and potential vice presidential pick) Stacey Abrams about allegations made by a former Senate staffer that Joe Biden had sexually assaulted her in the early 1990s. Here's how she responded (bolding is mine):

"I believe that women deserve to be heard and I believe they need to be listened to, but I also believe that those allegations have to be investigated by credible sources. ... The New York Times did a deep investigation and they found that the accusation was not credible. I believe Joe Biden."

That bolded section about The New York Times finding that Reade's accusation was "not credible" comes directly from talking points being distributed by Biden's campaign, talking points first reported on by BuzzFeed's Ruby Cramer. Here's the specific language from Biden's talking points:

"Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly review. In this case, a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen."
