WASHINTON: One year since the chaotic end to the United State war in Afghanistan hasn't been easy for the US president  Joe Biden.

Early in the summer of 2021, the new President was flying high success thanks to the overwhelming support of the American public and strong marks for Biden's handling of the economy and the coronavirus pandemic.

However, in August, the disorderly American troop pullout from Afghanistan looked to signal the beginning of things going wrong for him.

A gruesome attack that left 13 American soldiers and 170 others dead marked the end of the 20-year American war, as thousands of fleeing Afghans flocked to Kabul's airport just before the last cargo flights from the United States took off over the Hindu Kush.

The devastating drawdown was the most serious disaster the administration had experienced at the time. It raised serious concerns about the skill and expertise of Mr. Biden and his team, the two foundations of his presidential campaign.

As the one-year mark for the end of the Afghan war approaches, the incident, which marked a turning point in  Biden's presidency, continues to reverberate as he struggles to overcome poor polling results and boost American confidence in his administration ahead of November's crucial midterm elections.

The COVID-19 cases started to rise once more as  Biden was still dealing with the effects of the pullout from Afghanistan last summer. Economic pressures brought on by inflation, a labour shortage, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine were added on top of it in the ensuing months. The whole effect left Americans worn out.
