continued, "I’m not nervous. I strongly believe America is exhausted
from three and a half years of Donald Trump. Exhausted from the daily
efforts to destroy democracy and the free press.
"I think his handling of the [COVID-19] pandemic has been embarrassing to the entire nation and has caused so much loss of life, that was preventable. I think people are just exhausted and ready for new leadership: sane leadership, empathetic leadership. Joe Biden can bring that to the country.
"We can’t bear another four years of this. As Michelle Obama said, we have to vote like our lives depend on it. I honestly think the American people will do it. I truly don’t know if we would be a democracy when we were done if we went another four years."
And of his former mentor Kanye West's own bid for President, John said, "I don’t think it’s going to impact the election much. I do think a lot of it’s being supported by the Trump campaign."
John said in June that he and Kanye were no longer friends, but denied that it was anything to do with Kanye's support of Trump.
John told Cosmopolitan, "He always expressed affinity towards Donald Trump and is co-ordinating with the Trump campaign’s personnel, meeting with Jared Kushner [advisor to Trump, who is also his son-in-law].”
