George Clooney threw his support behind Kamala Harris for president just two weeks after turning on President Joe Biden by writing a scathing op-ed urging him to drop out.

Last month, the 63-year-old actor and husband of prominent international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, 46, thanked President Biden, 81, for 'saving democracy' as he endorsed his vice president.

Clooney stated that he was excited for Harris, 59, and her 'historic quest' to win the upcoming election.

Now sources within the Democratic Party tell DailyMail.com Clooney's recent involvement in the presidential race is part of a 'calculated' effort to put himself in line for a future White House run.

'His endorsement of Kamala was definitely calculated. George is contemplating a future run for president and he has the support of one of the most powerful Democrats in the world, Barack Obama.

'He has his scope set on a possible run for a Senate seat in 2026 and will undoubtedly continue to gain respect within the Democratic party,' the insider said.

The Ocean's 11 actor's vocal support of Harris came after he penned a scathing op-ed in the New York Times urging Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race against Donald Trump, 78.

I enjoyed his roll in Three Kings and supported by an excellent cast, plot, and director. Aside from that I don’t know why he is famous.

That being said. Shut up George.
