Aaron Sorkin Says Joe Biden’s Decision To Withdraw Was A ‘West Wing’ Moment As White House Honors Show On 25th Anniversary


The Warner Bros. series cast reunited in the Rose Garden at the White House

Cast members of The West Wing emerged from the real Oval Office this afternoon for a White House reception recognizing the show’s 25th anniversary. As pressure mounted on Biden to drop out, Sorkin had published an op ed in The New York Times the morning of July 21, recommending that Democrats nominate Mitt Romney in a show of unity. Among those also at the event were director and executive producer Thomas Schlamme, and other cast members Richard Schiff, Dulé Hill, Janel Moloney, Emily Procter, Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack.
