Anthony Coley, a former Department of Justice spokesman for President Joe Biden, has publicly argued that the 2024 presidential campaign was effectively ended by the catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal. Coley stated that this event significantly damaged Biden’s credibility with voters, contributing to the ongoing challenges he faces in the race. Coley’s comments come as Biden continues to seek support for his re-election bid, with his campaign struggling to overcome the perception of mismanagement associated with the 2021 withdrawal.
