George Clooney Endorses Kamala Harris

Actor George Clooney has officially endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic Presidential nominee.

In a statement, Clooney praised Biden and wrote that Biden is “saving democracy once again.”

Clooney later wrote in his statement, “We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest.”

Last month Clooney notably wrote in a New York Times op-ed that Joe Biden should step down just weeks after holding a fundraiser for Biden alongside Obama.

Here’s what News Nation reported:

Actor George Clooney has backed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president after previously calling for President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 election.

Clooney on Tuesday praised Biden for showing “true leadership” by ending his reelection campaign, stating the president was “saving democracy once again,” in a statement to NewsNation.

He also endorsed Harris’ presidential bid, stating, “We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest.”

Clooney, a lifelong Democrat, called for Biden to leave the presidential race over age-related concerns about his physical and mental acuity earlier this month.

In a New York Times opinion piece, Clooney said he loves Biden, but argued the party would lose the presidential race as well as any control in Congress with him as the nominee.

Clooney’s calls came weeks after headlining a fundraiser that brought in a record single-night haul for the president’s reelection campaign.

Per The New York Post:

Oscar-winning actor George Clooney hailed President Biden as a hero for “saving democracy” and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris — just two weeks after calling on the president to drop out of the election in a scathing op-ed.

“President Biden has shown what true leadership is. He’s saving democracy once again. We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest,” Clooney told CNN in a statement Tuesday.

The 63-year-old actor’s endorsement comes nearly two weeks after he called for a new candidate in an op-ed published in the New York Times — and less than a month after he co-hosted a Biden fundraiser that brought in some $30 million.
