George Clooney, a long-time supporter of Joe Biden, has made headlines by urging the President to withdraw from the 2024 election, citing concerns about his chances against Donald Trump. Clooney went public with his concerns in an op-ed written for The New York Times, stating that he believes Biden cannot win the upcoming election and that a change is needed to beat Trump [1] [2] [3].

Clooney's calls for Biden to step down caused a stir within Democratic circles, with notable figures like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Hollywood allies expressing doubts about Biden's re-election prospects. Pelosi acknowledged that it was ultimately up to Biden to decide whether to continue his campaign. The actor's statements coincided with Donald Trump and his allies seizing on Clooney's comments to criticize Biden and the Democratic Party [4] [5] [6].

Clooney's plea for Biden to exit the race due to concerns over his age and likelihood of losing to Trump triggered a wave of media coverage and discussions about the future of the Democratic Party. Several news outlets, including major networks and international media, covered Clooney's remarks and the subsequent reactions from various political figures and commentators [7] [8] [9] [10].

As Biden's support appeared to splinter, calls for him to drop out intensified, with Clooney's words being seen as a significant escalation in pressure on the President. The actor's public stance added fuel to the ongoing debate within the Democratic Party about the best path forward to secure a win in the upcoming election [11] [12] [13].

Should Biden Step Aside? Wajahat Ali & Norman Solomon Debate Democratic Options for 2024 Race

DemocracyNow! - 103 days ago - As calls mount for President Joe Biden to step down as the presumptive Democratic Party nominee over concerns surrounding his mental and physical capacity to lead, we host a debate between two longtime members of the Democratic Party: Wajahat Ali, who recently authored a column subtitled “Biden Is Very Old and Out of Touch, and Here’s Why You Should Vote for Him,” and Norman Solomon of RootsAction.org, which sponsors the Step Aside Joe campaign. At 81 years old, Biden is already the oldest person to ever serve as president of the United States. His recent public appearances, including a poor performance at his first presidential debate against presumptive Republican Party nominee Donald Trump — who, if reelected, would be the second-oldest person to ever serve as president — have renewed questions about his health and ability. Biden has thus far resisted pressure to suspend his reelection campaign, even as the U.S. liberal coalition fractures over his candidacy. Ali says that now is the time to unite over a candidate to prevent a second Trump presidency, and that without a clear alternative, only Biden can run a winnable campaign. Meanwhile, Solomon argues that Biden’s performance thus far has already critically weakened his chances of winning the election. “Uniting behind a losing candidate is a bad idea,” he says.
