George Clooney Questions Joe Biden's Capabilities Amid 2024 Election Rethink

George Clooney has expressed his shifting support for Joe Biden, attributing it to a moment at a fundraiser where he perceived Biden to be 'much less sharp' compared to a previous meeting. In his op-ed titled 'I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee,' Clooney emphasized that the Biden administration struggled to effectively communicate its accomplishments, particularly in the context of global economics. He noted how the media also failed to address Biden's declining capabilities, which ultimately impacted the Democratic campaign's success in the 2024 election. Clooney maintains affection for Biden but believes that his visible incapacities made it challenging to defend him publicly. His comments reflect broader concerns within the Democratic Party about Biden's ability to lead effectively. Following the criticism, Biden announced his decision to suspend his campaign later that year.
