George Clooney calls on Biden to drop out of presidential race weeks after co-hosting fundraiser: ‘He cannot win’
NY Post ^ | July 10, 2024 | By Isabel Keane

Actor George Clooney called on Democrats to name a new nominee for the 2024 presidential election, claiming President Joe Biden “cannot win.”

Clooney made the call for a new candidate in an op-ed published in The New York Times Wednesday, noting that after co-hosting a Biden fundraiser less than two weeks before his disastrous debate last month, the largest fundraiser supporting any Democratic candidate to date, he feels the 81-year-old should step down.

“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.”

Clooney continued: “But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can.”

“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 added. “He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”

The “proud,” “lifelong Democrat” also said his “party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw.”

What is it with these ‘entertainers’ who want to always put in THEIR 2 cents? As if they are authorities or something.

First, the Big Donors called on Biden to leave.

When that didn't work, the Party Leaders called on Biden to leave.

Now the Democrats are bringing out their most important and influential people -- Hollywood Celebrities.

Clooney claims that he didn’t know. Keen is a drooling idiot? I wish I could see Clooney’s face the moment he realized he threw good money down the drain.

Just another Hollywood creep. He was with Traitor Joe two weeks ago and was all in to keep a mentally disabled person as President but now he might lose so he has to go.

He is saying he saw the impaired version of Biden at his fundraiser? Then how did he support Biden after thr funxraiser but before the debate? Why didn’t he speak up after the fundraiser about this? I mean if he feels so strongly about this?

Hollywood Celebrities...

When they go off script, they betray their insufferable ignorance. Acting must be easy because the dumbest people on earth are doing it

Another Democrat elite ignoring the will of the Democrat primary voters.

Do they understand what “defending Democracy” actually means?

I’m waiting for the first suggestion by radicals to “seize the convention” in August.

Biden is probably the one DEM who can cheat right in front of our faces and win the election.

Clooney is very influential among Democrats and is angling to enter politics for some time. He is awaiting the right moment.

This POS was with Brandon a few weeks ago at a big fundraiser, and didn’t say a thing about Brandon’s issues at the time. Clooney is a disgusting clown.

He’s going to have to issue an apology soon.

He saw Biden with his own eyes and knew how bad he was but flutters along with the wind.

The Clooney fundraiser was what? One week before the debate? Two weeks before? Clooney had no idea then? Saw nothing at that time to give him pause? So he raises $30 million for Biden, and shazaam, roughly a mere 14 days later he calls for the guy to get out of the race. Wow, these people are complete whores.

Hollywood is fickle. Seems they are also gullible when told JB’s condition is ‘cheap fake’ just 11 days ago. Actors can only read from a script.

I seem to remember Georgy laughing about Trump becoming president the first time. Guess he’s not ridiculing him anymore.

if I was Biden, I’d stay in just because George said not to.
Who does this guy think he is? Shut up. ( I am not a Biden fan, BTW, but Clooney’s got some ego)

Biden didn’t win the first time, either. But it’s against the thought police to state otherwise.
