Harris’ campaign spokesperson, Ammar Moussa, responded to Trump's criticism, saying, “The Biden-Harris administration inherited a mess from Donald Trump. Trump wants America to forget that he had four years to get out of Afghanistan but failed to do it."
Meanwhile, as per the U.S. State Department 2023 report, both Trump and Biden’s administrations were found responsible for the failures in the pre-withdrawal period.
