Arizona’s two Democratic U.S. senators have their concerns about President Joe Biden and his administration’s plan to evacuate U.S. citizens from Afghanistan in light of the country’s takeover by the Taliban.

Kyrsten Sinema, the state’s senior senator, said Tuesday that Biden needs to have a better, more organized plan to evacuate Americans citizens.

Biden stuck with an Aug. 31 deadline for completing the U.S-led evacuation from Afghanistan amid a growing fear of extremist attacks at the Kabul airport.

“It is crystal clear that the intelligence that the United States military and our intelligence assets knew that this would be difficult and that it was likely that the Taliban would regain control,” Sinema told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Gaydos and Chad.

“If you’re going to leave, you need to have a plan to do so. You need to do it in an orderly way that protects Americans and our Afghan allies.”
