In a recent interview with GQ, George Clooney made a bold statement calling for Joe Biden to step down from the US presidential race. This call comes after concerns were raised about Biden’s performance in a debate against Donald Trump.
Clooney, a Hollywood actor and Democratic fundraiser, expressed his disappointment in Biden’s recent debate performance, stating that the Biden he witnessed at a fundraising event was not the same Biden from previous years. He emphasized that age seemed to be a factor in Biden’s performance and that the party needed to acknowledge this reality.
The fundraiser hosted by Clooney in Los Angeles raised a record-breaking $30 million for the Biden campaign, but it seems that some within the Democratic party are not fully convinced of Biden’s ability to defeat Trump in the upcoming election.
While Biden has reiterated his commitment to staying in the race, several elected Democrats have publicly voiced their concerns and suggested that he withdraw from the race. Despite this dissent, there is still significant support for Biden within the party, with key figures like Governor Gavin Newsom and members of the Congressional Black Caucus backing his candidacy.
The debate over Biden’s candidacy continues to escalate as the Nato summit unfolds in Washington DC, with prominent Democrats expressing their doubts about his ability to secure a victory against Trump. It remains to be seen how Biden will navigate these challenges and whether he will ultimately decide to remain in the race.
