Sen. McConnell says not late to prevent Taliban taking Kabul

US Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said on Friday that it is not too late to prevent the Taliban from overrunning Kabul, and urged the Biden administration to "hammer" Taliban advances with air strikes and provide support to Afghan forces defending the country's capital.

McConnell said he issued his statement after he spoke with Afghanistan's ambassador to the United States, Adela Raz.
