OPINION| In a surprising turn of events that has left many scratching their heads, George Clooney, the beloved Hollywood actor and long-time Democratic supporter, has recently called for President Joe Biden to step aside as the party’s nominee. This comes just weeks after Clooney himself hosted a star-studded fundraiser that raked in a staggering $28 million for Biden’s re-election campaign.
Clooney, known for his charming wit and political activism, penned a heartfelt op-ed in the New York Times, expressing his concerns about Biden’s ability to lead the party to victory in the upcoming election. The actor, who has been a vocal supporter of the Democratic party for years, admitted that he was “devastated” to come to this conclusion, but felt compelled to speak out for the sake of the party’s future.
“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010,” Clooney wrote. “He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020.”
The actor’s change of heart has left many Trump supporters chuckling, with some even calling it a “Clooney-gate” moment. After all, it’s not every day that a Hollywood A-lister turns on the very candidate he helped raise millions for.
But what could have prompted Clooney to make such a drastic switch? Some speculate that it may be due to Biden’s lackluster performance in the recent Democratic debate, where he appeared to struggle with his words and seemed out of touch with the current political climate. Others believe that Clooney may have finally realized what many Trump supporters have been saying all along – that Biden simply doesn’t have what it takes to lead the country.
Whatever the reason, Clooney’s call for Biden to step aside has certainly added fuel to the fire of the already heated 2024 election campaign. The question now remains – will Biden heed Clooney’s advice and step aside for the sake of the party, or will he continue to fight for the nomination?
As Trump supporters, it’s easy to see the irony in Clooney’s sudden change of heart. After all, it was just a few weeks ago that he was singing Biden’s praises and urging his fellow Democrats to rally behind the candidate. But now, it seems that even Clooney can’t ignore the writing on the wall.
In the end, only time will tell what the future holds for Biden and the Democratic party. But one thing is for sure – Clooney’s call for Biden to step aside has certainly made for some interesting political theater. And as Trump supporters, we can’t help but sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show.
