Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) has four questions for President Joe Biden ahead of an address to the nation Biden is scheduled to deliver Sunday afternoon.
America needs President Biden to answer these four questions when he speaks today at 4 pm:
1. How will you evacuate all American citizens and Afghan allies?
2. Will you do more to protect Americans traveling to the airport?

3. Did you agree to recognize the Taliban government?
4. How do you intend to keep the U.S. homeland safe from the inevitable spread of terror groups in Afghanistan?

While taking questions from reporters, President Biden suggested that China and Russia would have preferred the US to stay in Afghanistan and be "bogged down."
He then stated, "I think that history is going to record this was the logical, rational and right decision to make." pic.twitter.com/4MKYXAOzsS
