Some politicians are so fearful of former President Donald Trump retaking the White House that “they don’t really want to tell the full truth,” West said. “[Biden has] created the best economy that we can get. Is this the best that we can get? You don’t tell that lie to the people just for Biden to win,” West said in a clip played on CNN Sunday.

    But is West leading a coalition of candidates across several positions or only running for himself?

    There seems to be a fixation of the President as being the only place where change can happen, but a lot of work happens at the local and state level. You need a progressive Congress to pass progressive legislation. Biden isn’t vetoing progressive legislation, so the issue isn’t with him.
