Clooney's call for Biden to quit draws backlash from celebrities

Hollywood megastar George Clooney has received backlash for suggesting in an op-ed published Wednesday that President Joe Biden should withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.

The Ocean’s Eleven and Gravity actor’s call for Biden to drop out comes only a few weeks after he hosted a fundraiser for the president’s campaign, which generated about $28 million. While many celebrities have spoken in agreement with Clooney’s assessment of the president, some have rebuked the actor for his about-face in support of Biden.
