George Clooney called on Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race.
George Clooney has joined the growing list of high-profile Democrats calling for President Joe Biden to suspend his campaign.
The Hollywood actor wrote in a New York Times op-ed that his political party is “not going to win in November with this president,” predicting that Democrats will also lose the House and the Senate if they keep Biden on the ballot.
“This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and congress member and governor that I’ve spoken with in private,” he said. “Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.”
Just last month, Clooney co-hosted a star-studded fundraiser that raised a whopping $30 million for Biden’s campaign. But even at the event, Biden displayed questionable characteristics, according to Clooney.
“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010,” he said. “He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”
Clooney expressed concerns over Biden’s age and ability to beat Donald Trump following his disastrous debate performance, which the White House has repeatedly blamed on the President’s cold and jet lag.
