The Spin

Democratic narrative

Austin has now been completely transparent regarding his health. A perfect storm of circumstances botched the disclosure of his earlier medical problems, with Pres. Biden standing behind his defense secretary all the way. Austin has the complete trust of the administration and looks forward to his continued presence at the helm.

Washington Post

Republican narrative

Austin's previous opacity regarding his health issues makes him unqualified to lead the nation's army. Austin vanished without a trace earlier this year, weakening America in the eyes of the world, and raising serious questions as to his fitness for the job. In the face of an uncertain world, Austin must resign for health reasons.
