Biden Gives Updates on Hurricane Henri and Afghanistan Evacuees
New York, NY (77WABC)- President Biden addressed the country regarding the ongoing evacuation from Afghanistan, and the current Tropical Storm Henri sweeping the Tri-state and New England area.
Biden stated regarding the Afghanistan crisis, ” We still have a long way to go, and a lot could go wrong.” He also addressed the criticism he’s received in the removal of the US troops too soon and stated, ” If not now..when?” Biden appeared to be uncomfortable when addressing the nation.
In regards to Tropical Storm Henri, Biden said that FIMA would be monitoring the storm situation in the Tri-State/New England area.
He also took questions from the crowd, one even asking if he was ‘competent enough’ to be President of the United States. Biden skirted around the question, saying the war had to end because it was ‘too costly.’
