George Clooney Calls On Biden To Drop Out: 'We Are Not Going To Win In November'

The actor and longtime Democratic fundraiser argued that choosing a new candidate would energize the voters needed to defeat Trump.
Actor George Clooney, a stalwart Democratic fundraiser who most recently helped raise a whopping $30 million for President Joe Biden, is now calling on him to end his campaign for reelection due to his advancing age.
Clooney went out of his way to stress his feelings about the president in his opinion piece for The New York Times, which was titled, “I Love Joe Biden. But We Need A New Nominee.”
“I love Joe Biden,” Clooney wrote. “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.”
But Biden, like everyone, cannot roll back the clock, Clooney said.
“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,” Clooney wrote.
