Top Democratic fundraiser Clooney calls on Biden to drop out
These remarks come after Nancy Pelosi also expressed doubts about Biden's ability to continue, stating that time is running short for him to make a decision after his underwhelming debate performance against Donald Trump. Despite Biden's repeated determination to stay in the race and defeat Trump, Clooney expressed his concern in an opinion piece in the New York Times, emphasizing that the Joe Biden he met recently was not the same as the one he knew from previous years.
Clooney's comments have triggered a response from the Biden campaign, with an unnamed source defending the President's commitment during a fundraising event hosted by Clooney. Additionally, the campaign pointed out Biden's busy schedule, including attending the G7 summit in Italy prior to the fundraiser. George Clooney emphasized that concerns about Biden's candidacy are not solely based on his age and urged party leaders to acknowledge the evident challenges. He claimed that his worries parallel those of many members of Congress whom he has spoken with. Meanwhile, prominent figures within the Democratic Party continue to voice their doubts about Biden's candidacy, with some publicly urging him to withdraw from the race for the sake of the country. Despite the growing dissent, Joe Biden's campaign maintains its commitment to continue the race, and overall support from elected Democrats remains strong. However, internal discussions within the Democratic Party and among influential figures indicate that there is mounting concern and a push for Biden to reconsider his campaign.
