According to the actor, the president is simply too old—and dropping out now would make him a hero of democracy.
In an op-ed published in The New York Times, Clooney writes that he is a “lifelong Democrat” who has organized some of the party’s biggest fundraisers of all time, adding that he “love” Biden, considers him a friend, and believes in the president’s “character” and “morals.” Yet he thinks that Biden is simply too old to win, a conclusion he’s drawn based on both the debate performance watched by more than 51 million people in late June and his observations of Biden up close last month.
Let’s agree that the candidates not attack one another but, in the short time we have, focus on what will make this country soar. Then we could go into the Democratic convention next month and figure it out. Clooney concludes by writing: “Joe Biden is a hero; he saved democracy in 2020. We need him to do it again in 2024.” After his op-ed was published, filmmaker Rob Reiner wrote on X: “My friend George Clooney has clearly expressed what many of us have been saying.
