Astronauts push back on Trump claim Biden abandoned them on space station
(The Hill) NASA astronauts pushed back during an interview on President Trump’s claim last month that former President Biden and his administration abandoned them on the International Space Station (ISS).
Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were asked Thursday night on CNN if they feel abandoned, an assertion they refuted.
“We don’t feel abandoned. We don’t feel stuck. We don’t feel stranded. I understand why others may think that. We come prepared. We come committed,” Wilmore, speaking from the space station, told CNN host Anderson Cooper.

“That is what your human spaceflight program is. It prepares for any and all contingencies that we can conceive of, and we prepare for those,” he added. “So if you’ll help us change the rhetoric, help us change the narrative, let’s change it to ‘prepared and committed.’ That’s what we prefer.”
