How do I receive the whole Tweet in Tweepy Python?

I have created a streaming program in Python to receive Tweets, however I notice it only returns part of the text of the tweet. I have looked at similar problems, and know I must insert 'tweet_mode="extended"' somewhere, and have inserted it into Stream, but it doesn't seem to work.

auth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_secret)

class MyListener(StreamListener):
    def on_data(self, data):
        with open(file_name, "a") as file:
            tweetDict = {"text": "", "coordinates": ""}
            tweet = json.loads(data)
            json.dump(tweet, file, indent=4)
            file.write("\n")
            return True

twitter_stream = Stream(auth, MyListener(), tweet_mode="extended")
twitter_stream.filter(track=[target])

The full tweet is in the json response.

You can find it under:

tweet = json.loads(data)
tweet["retweeted_status"]["extended_tweet"]["full_text"]
