Vice President Kamala Harris 'owns' the execution of America's withdrawal from Afghanistan following her touting the role she played in President Joe Biden's decision, The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
"Vice President Kamala Harris has been, at least visually, front and center as President Biden has overseen America’s retreat from Afghanistan," thein a story headlined,"Kamala Harris has touted her role on Afghanistan policy. Now, she owns it too."
"The harrowing images of the United States’ retreat from Kabul this week, with desperate Afghans futilely chasing a packed Air Force plane, is likely to be a defining moment in Biden’s presidency," Times writer Noah Bierman added."But the execution of the withdrawal will also be added to Harris’ resume, underscoring the complex challenge she faces as Biden’s understudy."The Times noted that following Biden's decision in April to withdraw U.S.
It added that because of her desire to"erase any daylight between her and Biden," it would become difficult to separate herself from any of his decisions that might go awry. "Neither Harris nor administration officials would say what, if any, questions, concerns or reservations Harris raised about the withdrawal plans or the fate of thousands of Afghans who aided U.S. forces," The Times wrote."It is also unknown whether she expressed any skepticism about intelligence assessments that a Taliban victory was more than a year away.
"Most observers expect the Taliban will treat women harshly, returning to rules that exclude them from schools and the rest of society and subject them to violence and death if they resist. The country’s president has fled. Intelligence experts worry it will become a haven for terrorists," the Times wrote before quoting a Harris advisor who said the vice president has been a champion for women throughout her career.
