Trump Targets Harris on Afghanistan Withdrawal Anniversary

On the third anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris's fitness to lead, calling the pullout chaotic and incompetent. The criticism came during a campaign stop following Trump's participation in a wreath-laying ceremony honoring servicemembers killed during the exit.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump used the third anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris's leadership, labeling the pullout chaotic. Trump made these comments during a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, honoring the 13 servicemembers killed during the exit.

During a campaign stop at a nearby restaurant, Trump continued his critique, calling Harris and President Joe Biden incompetent. This attack marks another attempt by Trump's campaign to challenge Harris's fitness to serve as commander-in-chief, especially as the Nov. 5 election looms closer.

The campaign's criticisms follow Harris's recent claims of readiness to lead the nation's armed forces. Trump also targeted Harris's running mate Tim Walz, questioning his military service record. Meanwhile, Trump's remarks about the Medal of Honor have drawn backlash, adding fuel to the ongoing political battle.
