How did the political context surrounding the rescue mission affect public perception and the handling of the situation?

The extended stay of Wilmore and Williams, initially an 8-day mission, resulted from problems with the Boeing Starliner's propulsion system. This led NASA to use SpaceX for their return, a decision that became politicized after the return of Donald Trump to the presidency, who criticized his predecessor's handling of the situation. Elon Musk, now a Trump advisor, claimed he could have resolved the issue sooner.
