George Clooney Praises Joe Biden Dropping Out and Endorses Kamala Harris After Urging President to End His Campaign: ‘He Is Saving Democracy’


George Clooney praised Joe Biden for dropping out of the 2024 presidential race after urging him to do so in a New York Times op-ed.

The Oscar-winning actor made headlines on July 10 for publishing an op-ed in The New York Times in which he urged Biden to end his campaign following his disastrous performance in the first 2024 presidential debate. Clooney noted that Democrats had been “all so terrified by the prospect of a second Trump term that we’ve opted to ignore every warning sign” when it came to Biden’s aging. Clooney was one of many Hollywood names who spoke out against Biden remaining the Democratic nominee, including Rob Reiner, Stephen King and Michael Moore.
