As of Monday, all U.S. troops have withdrawn from Afghanistan following a chaotic evacuation from the country. In this installment of the Politics Podcast, Robert Crews, a History professor from Stanford University, joins to reflect on the history of the Taliban and talk about the current political landscape in Afghanistan. The FiveThirtyEight crew also discusses how Americans are responding to the administration’s handling of the end of the war, other factors driving criticism of Biden from both parties and whether it will impact the Democratic agenda going forward.
