Republicans in Congress are questioning President Joe Biden’s mental state, and in some cases are calling for him to resign over the United States’ chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
At least seven Republicans have argued that Biden should resign and have called into question his fitness for the presidency amid his repeated trips to Camp David and his home in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden has addressed the crisis in Afghanistan only twice since Kabul fell to the Taliban, reading a prepared statement on Monday, Aug. 16, and sitting for an exclusive interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday, Aug. 18.
During those appearances, Biden blamed Afghan and American military leaders, American intelligence officials, and former President Donald Trump for the chaotic withdrawal, asserting that there was no “way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing.” Less than two months earlier, Biden claimed that the Ashraf Ghani-led Afghan government “clearly ha[d] the capacity to sustain the government in place.”
Amid Biden’s low profile, Indiana Rep. Jim Banks, who deployed to Afghanistan in 2014, asserted that “our troops … see this Commander in Chief is unfit to lead.”
