George Clooney Praises Biden’s “Selfless” Decision

George Clooney has praised President Joe Biden for his “selfless” decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. In a New York Times opinion piece from July, the 62-year-old actor and lifelong Democrat advocated for Biden to step down, citing concerns over Biden’s performance during a debate with Republican Donald Trump. Clooney, who expressed his admiration for Biden, suggested that continuing as the nominee could jeopardize the party’s chances in the upcoming election. He noted that this sentiment is shared by many lawmakers he has spoken with privately.
