Dem Rep. Allred: We Have Talks to Keep Evacuating After August 31 'And It's Going to Be Contingent Upon the Taliban'

On Wednesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Craig Melvin Reports," Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) stated that "our mission is not going to end on August 31, in terms of trying to help people in Afghanistan who want to leave." And there will be ongoing negotiations "to see what we can do to continue to try to help people get out after that date, who want to work with our allies, others who have relations with the Taliban. And it's going to be contingent upon the Taliban." Allred also argued that the U.S. still has many forms of leverage over the Taliban.
