Actor George Clooney on Wednesday urged Joe Biden to end his US Presidential campaign citing his lackluster performance in the recent debate. “This is about age. Nothing more”, he said.
Clooney, who claims to be one of “the biggest fund-raisers” of Democratic Party wrote in an opinion piece in the New York Times, “I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president.In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced.”
“But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe “big F-ing deal” Biden of 2010”, he added.
Biden himself acknowledge that he “screwed up” in the debate.
“I had a bad night. And the fact of the matter is that, you know, I screwed up,” Biden said in an interview with radio host Earl Ingram on July 4.
The Oscar-winner further said in the piece, “We’re all so terrified by the prospect of a second Trump term that we’ve opted to ignore every warning sign.”
He called upon Wes Moore and Kamala Harris and Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsom and Andy Beshear and J B Pritzker to step forward and say “why they’re best qualified to lead this country and take on some of the deeply concerning trends we’re seeing from the revenge tour that Donald Trump calls a presidential campaign.”
