Independent presidential candidate Cornel West believes Joe Biden won’t be able to make it to the general election.
“I’m not even sure whether I’ll be running against Biden,” West told Politico. “Biden — I think he’s going to have an LBJ moment [and] pull back.”
West doesn’t think Biden can take the criticism from his more left-wing critics on how he’s handling the Israel-Hamas war and the economy.
He suggested he’s running against a “B” team opponents such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will run against him
“I’m just saying that I’m open to those possibilities, given the fluidity of the situation. He’s running out of gas,” West added.
He slammed Biden’s foreign policy, calling him a “milquetoast neoliberal with military adventurism, possibly leading the world toward World War III.”
West also said he had a strong dislike for Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, calling him a “bona fide gangsta, Neo-fascist, Pied Piper leading the country for the second civil war.”
“I’m more concerned about Trump domestically,” West added. “I’m more concerned about Biden in terms of foreign policy.”
West has received an average of 5% of support in polls which include him alongside Biden and Trump. Having already qualified in Alaska, he hopes to be eligible in up to 40 states on election day.
As an independent candidate, he faces competition from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Green Party nominee Jill Stein.
West had originally been the Green Party’s nominee but withdrew over differences on policy issues.
