George Clooney Endorses Wes Moore for Democratic Leadership

In recent interviews, George Clooney has voiced strong support for Maryland Governor Wes Moore as a future leader for the Democratic Party, describing Moore as 'levitating above' other potential candidates and praising his leadership in Baltimore, military service, and work with the Robin Hood Foundation. Clooney emphasized the urgency for Democrats to unite behind new leadership following electoral losses and President Joe Biden's decision to step down in 2024, a move Clooney publicly advocated for in a New York Times op-ed he described as a 'civic duty.' He acknowledged the mixed reactions his op-ed received but maintained that honesty about Biden’s health was necessary for the party’s future. Clooney also highlighted the need for Democrats to act quickly in choosing a new torchbearer, given their current poor polling.
