As of now Biden and Trump are the face of the parties and you have both of them being for withdrawal with the added caveat that the GOP is at odds with the prior "fight 'em over there" republicans and have preached America-first and the notion that we can't provide too much relief to refugees because even if .001% of them are terrorists we are going to pay the price, and so on.
As impactful as this stuff is to human lives and countries, it is going to be smashed through the usual "democrat vs republican" channels as anything else as far as regular American perception is concerned. Plus, within the next few days we're going to be right back to talking about how masks and vaccines are the most important issues. This country has made such a concerted effort (particular the GOP shift in the Trump era) to be all about itself and culture wars that it is legimately odd to be reminded that other people being murdered by terrorist sects was once a point of discussion.
Well said man.
