It is now internationally acknowledged that President Biden made a horrific call via the means by which he took American troops out of Afghanistan. This is a bipartisan view here in the United States; moreover, even U.S. allies overseas have acknowledged and condemned such an epic foreign policy blunder.

As of this writing, some Americans have gotten out of Afghanistan; however, the work of evacuating American citizens and allies from a hostile nation now dominated by the Taliban is far from over. As the fallout continues, it's more apparent that the Afghanistan nightmare will have an impact on the 2022 midterm elections.

Many Republicans believe that this could play a pivotal role in them regaining congressional majorities from the Democrats.

Republicans on Afghanistan's potential impact on 2022 midterm elections

GOP members are not mincing words when it comes to the ramifications of the Afghanistan troop withdrawal. Republicans maintain that this highlights the unsuccessfulness of Biden's presidency; moreover, the everchanging stories from the White House, coupled with "general frustration" on this matter are factors too.

Right now, the senatorial races getting the most attention from conservatives are those coming up in New Hampshire, Arizona, and Georgia. These states have a fair amount of veterans; of course, there is no doubt that the troops' pullout and its consequences will hit home for those who have served.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee remains actively engaged in this matter as well. Recently, the committee called out leftist lawmakers who have yet to openly condemn President Biden on this matter. The NRSC declared that these Democrats are putting politics over accountability.

An oblivious president

Biden, by his own admission, does not believe the pullout from Afghanistan could have occurred in a better manner. The 46th president admitted this himself during a recent ABC News interview. Biden also downplayed the horrors of videos where Afghans hurled themselves onto departing airplanes to escape the Taliban.

The Afghanistan crisis comes on top of other problems facing the United States under Biden; just a few examples include inflation, higher crime rates, and a dilapidated U.S.-Mexico border.

Still, despite all this, Biden believes that America is "back" with him in the White House.
