George Clooney calls for Biden to step aside weeks after co-hosting fundraiser for him

Hollywood star George Clooney called on President Joe Biden to step aside from the presidential race, weeks after he hosted a fundraiser for the president’s campaign.

Writing an opinion piece for the New York Times on Wednesday, Clooney said the Biden people saw during the president’s disastrous debate less than two weeks ago was the “same man” he saw at the high-profile fundraiser last month. The fundraiser in Los Angeles also featured Julia Roberts, Barbra Streisand, Jack Black, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jason Bateman, and Kathryn Hahn and raised $28 million, according to the campaign.
