Two years on, the Afghanistan withdrawal continues to cast a pall as President Joe Biden seeks reelection, experts tell ABC News. Shortly after then-Sen. Joe Biden joined his colleagues in unanimously approving waging war in Afghanistan, he declared the effort required Military boots on the ground and predicted the world would judge the U.S. harshly if it did not stay the course, allowing "the hope of a liberated Afghanistan to evaporate."
