The director's comments come amid Democratic Party drama following Biden's disastrous presidential debate against Donald Trump.
Rob Reiner is calling on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.
On Sunday, the “Stand by Me” and “When Harry Met Sally” director urged the party leader to “step down” from his reelection bid in a fiery post on X, formerly called Twitter.
“It’s time to stop fucking around. If the Convicted Felon wins, we lose our Democracy,” wrote Reiner, who has been a supporter of Biden until now and a significant donor of the Democratic Party. “Joe Biden has effectively served US with honor, decency, and dignity. It’s time for Joe Biden to step down.”
On Monday, author Stephen King joined Reiner and multiple other celebrities, like showrunner Damon Lindelof and Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, in calling for Biden to bow out of the race over fears that he’s fumbling away the election to Donald Trump.
“Joe Biden has been a fine president, but it’s time for him—in the interests of the America he so clearly loves—to announce he will not run for re-election,” King wrote on X.
