In a surprising turn of events, several Hollywood celebrities have called for President Joe Biden to step down from seeking re-election as the Democratic nominee in this year’s race.
One of the leading voices in this movement is actor George Clooney, who penned an op-ed explaining his reasons for wanting Biden to step aside. Despite years of support and fundraising for the president, Clooney expressed concerns about Biden’s performance and ability to win in November.
Joining Clooney in this call for change is actress Ashley Judd, who wrote an opinion piece asking Biden to “voluntarily, gracefully step aside.” Judd emphasized the importance of finding a strong Democratic nominee to ensure the defense of rights and freedoms.
Other celebrities, such as John Cusack, Rob Reiner, Stephen King, Mia Farrow, and Michael Douglas, have also voiced their support for Biden stepping down. They have cited concerns about Biden’s performance, the need for a new generation of leadership, and the survival of American democracy as reasons for their stance.
While President Biden has not yet announced his decision regarding re-election, the pressure from these Hollywood stars adds an interesting twist to the upcoming race. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
