The White House is firing back at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who has called for Democrats to halt work on their sweeping economic agenda to focus on Afghanistan evacuations.
McCarthy said his call highlighted frustration, voiced by a growing number of Republicans, over administration briefings they feel have been too short or inadequate. It also served as the latest escalation in a barrage of sharp criticism over Biden's handling of Afghanistan's fall to the Taliban. "We shouldn't work on other items, especially the spending of trillions of dollars," McCarthy said of the Democratic legislative efforts during a news conference.
Biden's schedule has included daily briefings on the issue. The State Department and the Pentagon have held regular public briefings, as has the White House, on the effort to dramatically scale up what has become a massive evacuation of thousands of Americans, Afghans and foreign nationals over the last several days. Yet the White House has also quietly kept a sharp focus on its domestic agenda, which Biden's top advisers view as critical on both the policy and political fronts.
