Actor George Clooney countered former President Donald Trump's demand for him to 'get out of politics and go back to television' by stating he would do so if Trump did the same. This exchange followed Clooney's New York Times op-ed urging President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, which Biden subsequently did, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Clooney discussed the op-ed and its repercussions during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he praised Biden's decision as 'extraordinary.' Clooney and Kimmel also joked about the potential consequences if Trump were re-elected and targeted them using the federal government.
