South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham comments to reporters on Tuesday that he was "amazed at how badly" the first six months of the Biden administration have been for the U.S.

"The border is in chaos. Afghanistan is teetering. China is rearing its head. Inflation is growing because we're spending so much money that's not paid for," Graham declared. "You see lawlessness in the streets, the cops do not feel supported."

Taliban forces are gaining momentum, pushing the Afghanistan government's forces out of several districts and taking control of various weapons and military vehicles in the process, while the U.S. withdraws from the country.

Insurgents have taken 900 guns, 70 sniper rifles, and 65 vehicles, Sky News reported. While this happens, the Afghanistan government continues to lose territory, having already left seven districts as the Taliban assumes control.

Graham revealed his plans of sending a letter to President Biden and the Pentagon to request that the administration reassess U.S. involvement in Afghanistan as the U.S. pushes forward with the military's complete withdrawal by September.

Taliban forces have engaged in a recent surge of violence and have forced Afghan forces from at least 50 of the nation’s 370 districts.

Though the U.S. withdrawal is more than 90% complete, a contingent force is expected to remain involved in Afghanistan through that deadline to help Afghan forces with operations through airstrikes.

But Graham fears this may not be enough and will ask Biden to maintain air support for the Afghan government.

"It is not in America’s interest for the Taliban to take over Afghanistan," Graham insisted Tuesday. "If the Taliban take over part of Afghanistan I fear that Al Qaeda and ISIS will re-emerge and we will be paving a way for another 9/11."

Graham pointed to a more partisan issue facing U.S. foreign policy and insisted the "Biden administration is in denial" over the state of the southern U.S. border.

The South Carolina Republican revealed he is concerned about the "criminal element" the border poses with the flood of migrants and argued there could be room for terrorists to skate through in this "wave of humanity."

However, Graham concluded on a hopeful note in saying he believes that despite flaws in the administration, bipartisanship in Congress is up.

"I sense a growing effort to do something about the problems of our country. I'm involved in an effort with Sen. [Tim] Scott to reform the police, not defund the police. I'm involved in an effort with 20 other Republicans and Democrats to pass an infrastructure bill for roads, bridges, and ports," Graham pointed out. "So in the middle of all the chaos and all the fussing and fighting, we're actually beginning to show signs of getting things done.

"But I don't see any effort by the Biden administration to adjust their policies on the border," he continued. "They seem to be doubling down on policies that are failing."
