George Clooney calls for Biden to step aside weeks after co-hosting fundraiser for him – Washington Examiner
George Clooney has called for President Joe Biden to step aside from the presidential race, despite hosting a fundraiser for Biden’s campaign just weeks ago. In an opinion piece for the New York Times, Clooney expressed his concerns about Biden’s candidacy. This comes as a surprising move from the Hollywood star and political activist. Clooney cited Biden’s age and declining cognitive abilities as reasons for calling for him to step aside. He also expressed concerns about Biden’s ability to effectively defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
While Clooney acknowledged that Biden has a long and successful political career, he believes that it is time for the Democratic Party to consider a younger, more progressive candidate to lead the party in the 2020 election.
Despite his previous support for Biden, Clooney emphasized the importance of putting the country’s interests first and choosing a candidate who has the energy and vision to bring about meaningful change.
It remains to be seen how Clooney’s comments will impact Biden’s campaign, but they have certainly added fuel to the ongoing debate within the Democratic Party about the best candidate to take on Trump in November.
George Clooney calls for Biden to step aside weeks after co-hosting fundraiser for him
Hollywood star George Clooney called on President Joe Biden to step aside from the presidential race, weeks after he hosted a fundraiser for the president’s campaign.
Writing an opinion piece for the New York Times on Wednesday, Clooney said the Biden people saw during the president’s disastrous debate less than two weeks ago was the “same man” he saw at the high-profile fundraiser last month.
“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.”
