George Clooney, an outspoken Democrat and supporter of Joe Biden, is the latest in a line of public figures to call upon the president to drop his re-election bid after a distressing debate performance late last month.
The Academy-Award-winning actor in an opinion piece for the New York Times published on Wednesday argued that the Democratic Party is in desperate need of a new nominee in order to defeat former President Donald Trump in November. Clooney wrote of the "profound moment" the country is currently in, noting how just last month he hosted the "single largest fundraiser supporting any Democratic candidate ever, for President Biden's re-election."
