Michael Douglas Is 'Deeply Concerned' About Biden Staying In 2024 Race
HuffPost
The longtime Biden ally said the upcoming election is "crucial" and agreed that calls for the president's exit are "valid."
Michael Douglas isn’t convinced that President Joe Biden can beat Donald Trump.
The “Wall Street” star joined a growing chorus of Democrats on Wednesday when, during an appearance on “The View,” he said the mounting question if Biden should drop out of the race is “a tough one” — before admitting to feeling “deeply, deeply concerned.”
“I adore the guy,” Douglas, who held a fundraiser in his home for Biden in April, told the panel. “Fifty years of public service, a wonderful guy, and this just happens to be one of these elections that is just so crucial, and it’s really hard. I don’t worry necessarily today or tomorrow, but a year down the line, I worry. I am concerned.”
Douglas said he had been “looking at some politicians who spoke about Biden dropping out last week and all of a sudden, this week, now they’re hedging their bets.”
He added that “we need some courage” in the matter from “both parties.”
