How can I sweep one face into another? This design is a kickstand foot.

I've been struggling to design this drafted portion. I've tried a few different methods and so far non of them accomplish what I'm looking for, or simply fail to be solved. Any help will be appreciated.

There are a few ways to achieve this, most of them involving Loft. Try a Loft surface, the top outer edges with the bottom outer edges. For help with your specific geometry, please share a public link to your document.

@devon_loughlin, the document share needs to be set to public in order for us make a helper copy document for you.

One way is to highlight the 4 edges as shown, and create a surface with Fill. Repeat for each of the faces. Then merge them all together.

You could probably also achieve this with some draft and move face commands (using the "rotate" option), then you wouldn't need all these sketches.

Here's a much simpler way of getting the same general shape (didn't notice the chamfer on the bottom but you could use the hole tool for that):
