In June, she visited Guatemala and Mexico in an effort to examine the \u201croot causes\u201d of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. But she has not visited that border, even though Biden in March named her as the administration\u2019s point person on the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The vice president has made a point of trying to appear engaged in the Afghanistan crisis, saying she was the last person in the room with President Joe Biden when he made the Afghanistan troop withdrawal decision.&nbsp;Biden \u201cis acutely aware that it may not be politically popular, or advantageous for him personally; it\u2019s really something to see,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n<p>In a defiant speech on Tuesday, Biden said it is time to leave Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mission in Afghanistan was never supposed to have been nation building. It was never supposed to be creating a unified, centralized democracy,\u201d Biden said. \u201cOur only vital national interest in Afghanistan remains today what it has always been: preventing a terrorist attack on the American homeland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden noted that four presidents \u2014 two Democrats and two Republicans \u2014 have dealt with the conflict, and stated, \u201cI will not pass this responsibly on \u2014 responsibility on to a fifth president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president also acknowledged the chaos that occurred. \u201cI made a commitment to the American people when I ran for President that I would bring America\u2019s military involvement in Afghanistan to an end. And while it\u2019s been hard and messy \u2014 and yes, far from perfect \u2014 I\u2019ve honored that commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Biden added: \u201cAfter 20 years, I\u2019ve learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw U.S. forces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
