Michigan Candidate Says Biden Administration Weaponized Green New Deal for China Confrontation

What was said

"I saw how the Biden administration specifically under the leadership of Jake Sullivan took up the whole idea of good green American jobs and green industrial policy which I stand by and still support. But then they added another piece to it. They said and therefore we must also conquer China so that we can ensure American dominance worldwide for the 21st century in the economy of the future. And I was like no no and we need to go to we need to have a shooting war."

Former Sunrise Movement co-founder Will Lawrence revealed insider perspective that the Biden administration under Jake Sullivan transformed progressive green industrial policy into a vehicle for confrontation with China. Lawrence argues this hawkish turn, combined with unconditional support for Israel's war in Gaza, destroyed the Democratic coalition and undermined Biden's working-class agenda. He advocates for multilateralism and diplomacy over great power competition.
