George Clooney Calls for Joe Biden to Quit Presidential Race
In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood actor George Clooney has publicly called for Joe Biden to step down from the US presidential race. Clooney, a prominent Democratic fundraiser, made his comments following growing concerns within the party about Biden’s ability to defeat Donald Trump in November.
Clooney’s remarks come after senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi hinted at doubts about Biden’s candidacy, stating that time was “running short” for the 81-year-old to make a decision about his future in the race. The actor expressed his belief that Biden, despite his past successes, was not the same candidate he once was, especially after a lackluster debate performance against Trump.
The Biden campaign has pushed back against Clooney’s criticism, emphasizing the president’s commitment to staying in the race and defeating Trump. However, dissent within the party is growing, with several elected Democrats publicly questioning Biden’s viability as a candidate.
Despite the calls for Biden to step aside, there is still strong support for him among certain party members, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and the Congressional Black Caucus. However, doubts about Biden’s ability to win the election continue to linger, with some Democrats privately expressing concerns about his candidacy.
As Biden hosts the Nato summit in Washington, the spotlight remains on his campaign and the growing uncertainty surrounding his presidential bid. With pressure mounting from both within and outside the party, the future of Biden’s candidacy hangs in the balance as the November election draws closer.
