The families of the 13 U.S. service members who were killed by a suicide bombing in August 2021, as the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan, appeared on stage at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Wednesday as Donald Trump and Republicans look to further highlight one of the most difficult moments of Joe Biden’s tenure. The parents and loved ones of those service members have been thrown into the political spotlight, appearing before congressional hearings and doing various news interviews. Republicans have claimed that Biden’s decision to remove U.S. soldiers after the two-decade war in Afghanistan was a strictly political move. But the agreement for the U.S. to withdraw from Afghanistan was signed by Trump’s administration in February 2020. The deal called for American troops to be out by May 2021, but Trump left office that January without leaving a plan in place for the actual withdrawal of forces. The families have blasted Biden for never publicly naming their loved ones. On stage Wednesday, one of the family members, Herman Lopez, named each of the 13 members, with the crowd echoing back each lost soldier’s name as it was read out loud. The Republican criticism of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan resonates with voters across party lines. Former Biden supporters, such as former New Hampshire House Speaker Steve Shurtleff, have cited the botched withdrawal as one reason why they want Biden to step aside.
