Cotton suggests Biden administration delayed shooting down balloon to ‘salvage’ Blinken trip to China

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Sunday accused President Biden of delaying his decision to take down the suspected Chinese spy balloon to "salvage" Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to China.

"I do believe the administration wanted to salvage the Secretary of State's trip on Friday night, and they got through Thursday afternoon," he told Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday."

Blinken postponed his trip to Beijing on Friday over the "unacceptable"suspected surveillance balloon.
