In a recent op-ed published in The New York Times, Hollywood superstar George Clooney has called on President Joe Biden to step aside and drop out of the 2024 presidential race. Clooney, a longtime Democrat and prominent fundraiser for Biden’s campaign, expressed his deep respect for the president but emphasized that Biden’s recent debate performance was indicative of a broader decline.


Clooney’s op-ed came less than a month after he co-hosted a star-studded fundraiser for the Biden campaign, which raised a record $30 million. The actor and director praised Biden’s past efforts, particularly his role in the 2020 election, stating, “Joe Biden is a hero; he saved democracy in 2020. We need him to do it again in 2024.”


However, Clooney criticized Biden’s recent performance, saying, “The Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser 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’s plea follows a growing list of public figures calling for Biden to step aside, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other senior Democrats. The actor’s criticism has sparked a heated debate within the Democratic Party, with some urging Biden to stay in the race and others calling for him to withdraw.
