Actor George Clooney called on Democrats to name a new nominee for the 2024 presidential election, claiming President Biden “cannot win.”
Clooney made the call for a new candidate in an op-ed published in the New York Times on Wednesday, noting that after co-hosting a Biden fundraiser less than two weeks before Biden’s disastrous debate last month, the largest fundraiser supporting any Democratic candidate to date, he feels the 81-year-old should step down.
“I love Joe Biden,” Clooney wrote. “As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals.”
