Robert Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET), suggested that he favors President Donald Trump over Democratic nominee Joe Biden from the perspective of a businessman.

During an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” 74-year-old Johnson refused to endorse Trump when pressed by the show’s host. Instead, he said that as a cooperate leader, he is clear about Trump’s strategies to recover the nation’s economy hard-hit by the CCP virus pandemic, but has little idea what Biden will do to address this issue.
