George Clooney Faces Backlash Over Biden Resignation Push
News summary

George Clooney has faced significant backlash on social media after calling for Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, which many blame for contributing to Donald Trump's election victory. In a July op-ed for the New York Times, Clooney expressed concerns about Biden's ability to win against Trump, leading to Biden's subsequent withdrawal and Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic nominee. Following Trump's victory, which saw him secure 295 electoral votes and win the popular vote, social media users criticized Clooney's influence, with some suggesting he played a pivotal role in the election outcome. Comments on X included remarks like, 'Someone bring me George Clooney. We need to talk,' reflecting the frustration among Biden supporters. While Clooney downplayed his impact, stating that Biden's decision was extraordinary, critics argue that his call to action may have negatively affected the Democratic campaign. This situation has reignited discussions about the role of celebrity endorsements in politics, with experts highlighting that such endorsements often benefit the celebrity more than the candidates themselves.
