US President Joe Biden is having his worst day of his young Presidency and BetOnline has posted odds on what his approval rating will be as of September 1, 2021. They have him priced at -120 for both the OVER and UNDER 47% with that number specifically provided by FiveThirtyEight.com.
A suicide bombing attack claimed by ISIS has resulted in more than 60 Afghans killed and 13 US troops. The US had warned that attacks were imminent just hours before.
The U.S. general overseeing the evacuation said the attacks would not stop the United States from evacuating Americans and others, and flights out were continuing. Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, said there was a large amount of security at the airport, and alternate routes were being used to get evacuees in. About 5,000 people were awaiting flights on the airfield, McKenzie said.
In an emotional speech from the White House, U.S. President Joe Biden said the latest bloodshed would not drive the U.S. out of Afghanistan earlier than scheduled, and that he had instructed the U.S. military to develop plans to strike IS.
“We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay,” Biden said.
BetOnline's Dave Mason has been updating followers via his Twitter feed on the volatile movement on Biden futures over the past two weeks following the fall of Kabul and the US Government's hectic evacuation efforts since that time.
