“We will not win with this president.” George Clooney calls on his “friend” Joe Biden to give up the presidential campaign.

We knew that George Clooney was involved in politics as well as in the humanitarian field. But this time, the 63-year-old actor did not hesitate to pick up the pen and speak directly to President Joe Biden in connection with the next presidential election. While the race for the White House has begun and will conclude on November 5, the incumbent is running for re-election against Donald Trump, who is more determined than ever to regain power. However, one of the problems facing the Democratic camp is questioning Joe Biden’s ability to manage. Indeed, for several months, the latter has multiplied the phenomena that feed the idea that he may be old or simply too old to be president. It is in this context that George Clooney published column in the New York Times July 10.

“I like Joe Biden”

In the columns of New York, the actor reaffirms his love for the current president. “I like Joe Biden,” he wrote. As a senator. As Vice President and as President. I consider him a friend and I believe in him. I believe in his character. I believe in his morality.” Recall that the starOcean’s Eleven just co-hosted a fundraiser for Joe Biden in June. But for him, it is time for the democratic candidate to pass the torch. “Over the last four years, he’s won most of the battles he’s faced,” he continues. But the one battle he can’t win is the battle against time. None of us can do that. This is devastating to say, but the Joe Biden I met at a fundraiser three weeks ago was not the Joe “big deal” Biden of 2010. It wasn’t even 2020 Joe Biden. He was the same person. we all saw it in the debate.” The actor is referring here to the June 27 debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, which was considered disastrous for the current president. A debate to which Joe Biden returned with a letter published in X on July 8, where he confirms that he will not give up the fight for the presidency.

“Was he tired? Yes! Cold? Perhaps George Clooney is wondering about Joe Biden’s poor speech. But our party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we saw. We are all so terrified of the prospect of a second Trump term that we have chosen to ignore all the warning signs.” The actor concludes by claiming on behalf of the Democrats that they “will win not in November with this president.” “It’s not just my opinion, it’s the opinion of all the senators, congressmen and governors I’ve spoken to individually,” he says so far. I’m not sure if this public outing will be to Joe Biden’s taste, but one thing is for sure, George Clooney has not lost his enthusiasm.
