Army Lieutenant General Christopher Donahue, the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan, has been confirmed as a four-star general despite a brief Republican hold. His promotion, initially blocked by Senator Markwayne Mullin, highlights the ongoing political debate surrounding the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.
A recent Pew Research Poll reveals that former President Donald Trump enjoys significant support among veterans nationwide, outpacing Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Veterans cite the VA’s performance under Trump and the botched Afghanistan withdrawal under Biden as key reasons for their preference. Experts emphasize the importance of understanding veteran perspectives not just during election season but year-round.
Republicans are criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for her role in the Afghanistan withdrawal, while Donald Trump intensifies his campaign efforts in the shadow of Harris’ rise. The 2024 election is heating up with various developments, including a potential delay in Pennsylvania election results and RFK Jr. suspending his campaign. Other news includes Biden’s vacation plans, criticism of a tax proposal, and updates on the Trump-Harris debate.
