President Biden expected to address nation regarding Afghanistan in the next few days

President Biden is expected to address the nation in the next few days about the crisis in Afghanistan, according to a senior administration official.

One option under discussion is to have Biden return to the White House, though the official cautioned that they had not completely ruled out making the remarks from Camp David.

Earlier today, CNN's Jeff Zeleny reported that while Biden can receive the same level of briefings from Camp David, as he has been doing throughout the weekend, officials are aware of the optics of the President being out of town during this perilous moment.

Several administration officials have also been on vacation, but began returning to work remotely Sunday or in the West Wing.

They're testing the waters to see if they can pre-record the thing with heavy editing, which they'll need. If they go with no press and no questions, we'll know what we already suspect.

“Yes, Afghanistan is now back in the hand of the Taliban, and thousands of US servicemen were killed or maimed for nothing. But, the important thing is that you all get vaccinated and keep wearing masks.”

I take it you would give President Trump a “mulligan”.

You know good and damn well this would have never happened with Trump. They feared him.

Biden does not present anything. He is a fool.

We are back in libtard land.

“in the next few days...”

They need time to see how things develop, do some poll testing, figure out what the spin will be, etc. Maybe a new crisis will arise, or be manufactured, to take the news off Afghanistan (like an indictment of Trump maybe).

TRUMP INDICTED!!!
(Afghanistan? Oh yeah...old news.)

I love President Trump and know damn well he would have handled this better.

Biden is a clown. I hate him more than the Kenyan. Atleast the Kenyan won the elections against 2 pathetic piece of shits.

His team needs the time to determine exactly how it’s actually Trump that is to blame for it all.

That's pretty easy, really. They have found that "just 'cause" works every time with the media and Never-Trumpers. With them, no real explanation is needed.

The only thing Biden can say now is, “I, along with my VP, the House Dem leadership and the Senate Dem leadership, will resign effective immediately, along with Gen Milley and a contingent of intel ‘experts’. I’m sorry, I never should have run for president.”

Thats all I want to hear

Give the Taliban New York City , Chicago ,Seattle ,Portland , San Fran and Los Angeles in exchange for peace

The Taliban are many things, but they are not stupid.

Biden is like an electric car - he needs 48 hours of a slow trickle charge IV before they can reactivate him. In the meantime Jill is trying to think of who to blame next.

Good thing the Taliban aren’t surrounding D.C. (Yet!) We might get the idea that (living up to his name of Slo-) Joe has bolted for Haiti as a refugee.

“in the next few days.”

So bold. So decisive.

One wonders how the Taliban had the guts to challenge him...

Is that Amy Carter?
I hope she and her husband (?) are happy together.
They both wear prescription glasses, so they have that going for them.
