Title: Hollywood Elite Calls for Biden to Step Aside Amid Concerns Over Age and Competency
In a surprising turn of events, Hollywood A-listers are voicing their concerns over President Joe Biden’s ability to serve a full term if re-elected. Actor Michael Douglas, who hosted a fundraiser for Biden in April, expressed his disappointment in the president’s performance during the first debate with Trump and stated that it would be “hard to imagine” Biden serving his full term.
The unease over Biden’s candidacy has led to a growing chorus of prominent Democratic donors and influencers calling for him to step aside. George Clooney, a prominent Democratic fundraiser, authored an opinion piece urging Biden to leave the race, while novelist and screenwriter Ayelet Waldman has stopped donating to liberal candidates in protest.
The concerns over Biden’s age and competency have sparked a debate within the Democratic Party, with some calling for an open convention where a new candidate can step in. Despite Biden’s repeated assertions that he is the only candidate who can beat Trump in the November election, Democratic donors remain unconvinced.
The growing pressure from Hollywood elites and Democratic lawmakers signals a worsening situation for President Biden, who is facing a fundraising gap with Trump. While Biden once held a clear advantage in fundraising, the gap has closed in recent months, with Trump raising more than $330m in the April-June quarter compared to Biden’s $264m.
As the calls for Biden to step aside continue to grow, the Democratic Party faces a crucial decision ahead of the November election. Will Biden heed the calls of Hollywood elites and donors, or will he continue to fight for his candidacy despite mounting pressure? Only time will tell.
