George Clooney taking step back from politics after being made a 'scapegoat' for Kamala Harris' loss


Clooney, 63, is 'disheartened' by the backlash, with insiders claiming he did not immediately endorse Harris because he felt the Democrats should have deliberated for longer.

The Hollywood star, 63, threw his support behind Harris after penning a blistering op-ed on why Joe Biden would cost the Democrats the win if he didn’t abandon his campaign, but it still wasn’t enough to prevent an historic victory for Donald Trump. The Ocean's Eleven actor penned a brutal op-ed for the New York Times in July where he called on Biden to step down from the race and declared: 'We are not going to win in November with this president.' Weeks later, Clooney threw his support behind Harris and her ‘historic quest’ as he thanked Biden for ‘saving Democracy’ by conceding his place in the race to his Vice President.
