Hollywood Stars Turn on Biden, Demand He Withdraw from 2024 Race

Prominent Hollywood figures, including George Clooney, Michael Douglas, and Mia Farrow, are publicly urging President Biden to step aside from the 2024 presidential election, citing concerns about his age and performance. After witnessing Biden's recent debate performance, Clooney claims he is no longer the "big F-ing deal" he once knew.

Hollywood is uniting against President Biden, with prominent celebrities openly calling for him to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. The growing chorus of dissent follows a scathing essay published by George Clooney in The New York Times, in which he expressed grave concerns about Biden's fitness for office.

Clooney, who previously hosted a star-studded Biden fundraiser, described witnessing a diminished version of the former vice president at a recent event. "He wasn't … the Joe Biden of 2020," Clooney wrote. "He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate."

The Oscar-winning actor's essay resonated with other Hollywood figures, who have expressed similar concerns. Michael Douglas, appearing on "The View," said he was "deeply, deeply concerned" about Biden's ability to win re-election.

"I mean, especially… it's difficult because the Democrats have a big bench," Douglas said. "They've got a lot of heavy hitters."

Filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner echoed Clooney's sentiments, saying, "My friend George Clooney has clearly expressed what many of us have been saying."

Actress Mia Farrow similarly warned that it was "time to pass the torch" or risk losing the Senate, the House, and the country's democracy. "I'll vote for Joe if he declines to step down. Of course," Farrow said. "But he is losing. We cannot EVER give our country to Trump."

Clooney's essay floated several potential Democratic nominees, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos also made headlines this week when he was caught on video expressing his belief that Biden was not fit to serve another four years in office. The anchor later released a statement saying he had expressed his own opinion and not the position of ABC News.

The growing dissent in Hollywood reflects the concerns of many Democrats across the country. Biden's age and performance have been the subject of increasing scrutiny, with some questioning his ability to handle the demands of the presidency.

The pressure on Biden to withdraw from the race is likely to intensify in the coming months as Democrats prepare for the 2024 election. The party faces a difficult challenge in navigating an increasingly polarized political landscape and must decide whether to stick with their incumbent president or find a younger, more dynamic candidate.
