Quote:George Clooney, who just last month hosted a star-studded fundraiser for Joe Biden’s campaign, is reversing course, saying Democrats are “not going to win in November with this president.”
“I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced,” the “Ticket to Paradise” star, one of Hollywood’s most prominent Democratic supporters, said in an editorial published Wednesday in The New York Times.
“But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can,” Clooney wrote of the 81-year-old commander in chief.
Last month, Clooney joined former President Obama and actor Julia Roberts for a buzzy and record-breaking Los Angeles fundraiser for Biden’s campaign. The event raised $30 million.
But in his New York Times essay, Clooney acknowledged that he observed a difference in Biden at the glitzy fundraiser.
“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 wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,” Clooney wrote.
