In reply to the discussion: Poll - Will Afghanistan be a campaign issue in 2024? [View all]LenaBaby61

Agree totally with you. Dems have to come HARD with what they find out or possibly even know NOW.
A friend called me this morning and reminded me that the Congress is in recess, which is why we've heard nothing from them on all of these matters happening now. There's SO much going on in the world that I forgot about the August recess for Congress
I do hope that when they do come back from recess, they talk about tRump's roll in all of this, because when he made that deal with the Taliban, he also closed down 10 or so airbases, made it possible for the Afghan army to not be paid or fed. In other words, tRump set Biden up for failure. Dems have to show that he did just that if they have the evidence to back that up.

The Trump embeds are deep. Just wonder if there was anything going on to make Biden look

I think it will, but by then the situation will probably have calmed down a lot.

The GQP is desperate to find something, anything to use against President Biden.
