Actor George Clooney Calls For Biden To DROP OUT Of Presidential Race

Hollywood star George Clooney has called for Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.

Clooney made the comments in an op-ed in the New York Times.

Clooney wrote, “It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010.”

The actor added, “He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”

“But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can,” added Clooney.

Here’s what CNBC reported:

Hollywood superstar George Clooney said Wednesday that it was time for President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race, after Biden’s disastrous debate performance and a fundraiser the actor and filmmaker co-hosted for Biden in June.

“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010,” Clooney wrote in a New York Times op-ed.

“He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”

The June event was a star studded fundraiser in Los Angeles featuring former President Barack Obama, actress Julia Roberts and comedian Jimmy Kimmel. The evening raised over $30 million for Biden and his larger political operation, according to NBC News.

Biden’s fumbling debate performance opposite former President Donald Trump was on June 27, nearly two weeks after the fundraiser in Los Angeles.

Clooney’s op-ed was published on Wednesday, nearly two weeks after the disastrous debate, and the same day former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. refused to explicitly endorse Biden as the nominee.

With George Clooney publicly asking for Biden to step down, will he pay back the $30 million to the donors he conned into giving Joe just 3 weeks ago?

Per KTLA:

Longtime Democrat George Clooney is urging President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.

Just a month after co-hosting a fund-raiser for President Biden, Clooney penned a lengthy op-ed published by The New York Times on Wednesday morning explaining why it’s time for Biden to remove himself from the race.

“I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced,” Clooney wrote. “But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe “big F-ing deal” Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”
