Celebrities praise Biden and rally round Harris
BBC News ^ | July 22, 2024 | Alex Smith

A number of famous faces have been quick to pay tribute to US President Joe Biden after he announced he will not be running in November's presidential election. Hollywood has long been a strong base of support - and money - for Mr Biden's Democratic Party, but in recent weeks donors had been turning away from the president after a poor performance in a TV debate with rival Donald Trump.

Since the announcement, some have publicly declared their support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the Democratic nomination. Talk show host and comedian Jon Stewart called Mr Biden a "legend", while actor Robert De Niro said his decision was an "act of shrewd politics and selfless patriotism".

"There is nothing more important for our country than defeating Donald Trump at the ballot box," said De Niro, a fervent Trump critic. Oscar-winning actress and singer Barbra Streisand praised Mr Biden, saying he would "go down in history as a man who accomplished significant achievements in his four-year term", in a post on X. He helped restore "honesty, dignity & integrity to the office after four years of lies, crime, scandal & chaos", according to Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, referring to his predecessor Mr Trump's time in the White House.

He appeared to be a pretty smart guy. Liberal. But funny. Or at least 20 years ago.

Seems like a bad case of TDS.

They loved the Ice-cream man because he was a rubber stamp and opened the Fedgov vault and money printing press.

Shocking! Hollywood rallying round Democrats! Next thing you know, the media will be rallying around the Democrat candidate. The world is full of surprises.

Pity. I used to like Mark Hamill.

Ah well, I used to drink bud light, too.

So, the Democrat National Convention will look like the Kim Jong-Il World Peace Ceremony from “Team America”.

As the Republican Convention was a coronation of an unopposed Donald Trump (and rightly so), the Democrat Convention will be a coronation of an unelected Harris.

I expect dancing Ukrainians and exhortations to live in the dark and eat bugs.

Good times.

Celebrities would rally behind Pol Pot if that was the choice they were given from the DNC. They are that evil.

Great! Hope all those Hollywood elites donates (flushes) a ton of money toward her campaign. She will go down even faster than Stacey Abrams of Georgia.

It always amazes me how the MSM thinks “celebrities” are smart enough to make cogent comments on current events. I could care less what they think and I think a lot of other people feel the same way.
