Episode description

Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified before Congress and defended the chaotic evacuation effort. He said President Biden faced the choice of “ending the war or escalating it” after not inheriting “a plan” from the Trump administration. Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard. He tells AC360 he was “completely unsatisfied” with Blinken’s answers. Plus, former President Trump has stirred up voter fraud lies on the eve of the California recall election. Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar joins AC360 to discuss Trump’s big lie and explains why she thinks Newsom will remain the governor.
