Abstract

Vice President Kamala Harris had limited involvement in the decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan, according to interviews with current and former U.S. officials. While Harris asked questions about the impact of the withdrawal on American citizens, women's rights, and counterterrorism efforts, she did not reveal her position during group discussions. Republicans are using the botched withdrawal as an opportunity to attack Harris, but her allies argue that the U.S. departure from Afghanistan began under former President Trump. The Taliban's return to power and the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan are likely to be contentious issues in the upcoming presidential election. [Extracted from the article]
