At 1 p.m. he delivers remarks \u201con the evacuation of American citizens and their families\u201d from Kabul, and at 2:05 p.m. he\u2019ll be on a helicopter heading to Wilmington, Delaware.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Press Secretary Jen Psaki won\u2019t be taking questions from reporters, the second straight day she has dodged the press.<\/p>\n<p>The trip, Biden\u2019s 18th since taking office, comes amid criticism of the president for being at Camp David in Maryland last weekend as the Taliban rapidly swept through Afghanistan \u2014 then returning there immediately after he delivered a White House speech about the situation. He returned to the White House so he could sit down with ABC\u2019s George Stephanopoulos for an interview, which turned into a train wreck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve all seen the pictures. We\u2019ve seen those hundreds of people packed in a C-17. We\u2019ve seen Afghans falling,\u201d Stephanopoulos said before an angry Biden interrupted him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was four days ago, five days ago!\u201d the president said. In reality, it was two days before the interview.<\/p>\n<p>At another point, the former press secretary to President Bill Clinton asked if the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan could have been done better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. I don\u2019t think it could\u2019ve been handled in a way that \u2014 we\u2019re going to go back in hindsight and look but the idea that somehow there was a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don\u2019t know how that happens,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo for you, that was always priced in the decision?\u201d Stephanopoulos asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Biden answered.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has hunkered down amid the disaster in Afghanistan. Neither he nor any White House spokesman made comments on Thursday. In fact, Biden has taken no questions from the press since Kabul fell.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Kamala Harris has also avoided the press and is set to head off this weekend on a trip to Asia that includes a stop in Vietnam. The fall of Kabul has brought comparisons to the fall of Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War, when U.S. personnel had to be rescued from the embassy there.<\/p>\n<p>New York Post&nbsp;columnist&nbsp;Miranda Devine said Thursday that Harris is trying to stay as far away from Biden as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Devine said Harris \u201cis likely trying to keep her reputation more intact as Biden\u2019s leadership is questioned and Afghanistan crumbles before the Taliban, suggesting the vice president may believe she will ascend to the presidency sooner than later given the current conditions,\u201d Devine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/miranda-devine-kamala-harris-noticeably-absent-amid-afghan-crisis-as-joe-biden-stinks-of-failure\">wrote<\/a> for Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately this has been a debacle in Afghanistan and Joe Biden owns it, and he stinks of failure and defeat, and she wants to be as far away from that as she possibly can,\u201d Devine said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s quite a betrayal of the vice president not to be standing by the president\u2019s side who\u2019s now given two sort of \u2018speeches,\u2019 I guess you could call them, since Friday. And it is quite remarkable that she has decided not to show solidarity with the president \u2014 it tells you where the White House is. And she, I suppose, is thinking she will be stepping into the president\u2019s shoes,\u201d Devine added.<\/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.
