That Settles That: White House Is Keeping Space Force

The Space Force is here to stay.

The Biden administration has no plans to get rid of the military’s newest branch, championed by former President Trump and eventually approved by Congress.

“They absolutely have the full support of the Biden Administration,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday. “We are not revisiting the decision to establish the Space Force.”

Psaki’s comments came one day after she drew criticism from some lawmakers for what they called insulting comments about the branch of the military and its members, newly termed guardians. When asked by a member of the press on Tuesday whether Biden planned to eliminate the Space Force, Psaki compared the question to a reporter’s question last month asking if Biden planned to change the color scheme of Air Force One, as called for by former President Trump.
