Clooney, a prominent Democrat and previous Biden supporter, on Wednesday called for the president to exit the race.
Former President Donald Trump slammed actor George Clooney on Wednesday night for having “turned” against President Joe Biden by urging him to end his 2024 presidential campaign.
In an opinion article published by The New York Times on Wednesday, Clooney joined a chorus of Democrats calling on the president to withdraw his candidacy following a much-maligned performance in the June 27 debate with Trump. While a minority of Democratic lawmakers have also publicly called for his exit, Biden has repeatedly said that he intends to remain in the race.
Trump, who may be hoping for Biden to remain the presumptive Democratic nominee, responded furiously to Clooney’s article in a post to his Truth Social platform hours later, denouncing Clooney for “getting into the act” while referring to him as a “fake movie actor” who “never came close to making a great movie.”
“He’s turned on Crooked Joe like the rats they both are”, Trump wrote.
