President Biden’s speech on Afghanistan went so well that he’s going to deliver another update today. Just kidding!
It’s time for a desperate attempt to put the focus elsewhere:
Biden will deliver “remarks on the COVID-19 response and the vaccination program” tomorrow at 4:30PM ET in the East Room, per WH schedule

Clearly Biden hasn’t yet figured out a way to try and blame Republican governors for the Afghanistan mess.
This is the WH advising the press that the Afghanistan news cycle is over.

He's counting on the media to play along with this hamfisted attempt to change the subject to more comfortable ground.
Let's see if they do. https://t.co/o6679CjpP6

The Biden administration would really appreciate it if everybody would just move on.
His strategy is clear. Ignore #Afhanistan https://t.co/h5qhttiTc2

So after that Afghanistan speech, today you're going to hear about how you're all gonna need covid booster shots and masks aren't going away until next year. Banger week for the president. https://t.co/ZUYXjryjzh

Some kind of extreme EO would push the Afghanistan debacle to the back of the news cycle

There are 11,000 American citizens trapped in Afghanistan. Nice try. https://t.co/RmLHDUwtCm
