He said \u201cThe Joe Biden I met three weeks ago was not the Biden of 2010 or even 2020,\u201d Clooney wrote, echoing concerns voiced by many within the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>The call follows Pelosi\u2019s remarks that time was \u201crunning short\u201d for Biden, who recently stumbled in a debate against Donald Trump. Despite Biden\u2019s repeated assertions of his determination to continue as the Democratic nominee and defeat Trump, the president faces mounting scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Clooney\u2019s op-ed comes after a high-profile fundraiser in Los Angeles, co-hosted by Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand, which raised a record $30 million for Biden&#8217;s campaign. However, Biden\u2019s campaign has pushed back against Clooney&#8217;s comments, noting that Biden had just arrived from the G7 summit in Italy and stayed for over three hours at the event.<\/p>\n<p>Clooney&#8217;s article stressed the need for party leaders to acknowledge the reality of Biden&#8217;s age and the potential impact on the election. \u201cThis is about age. Nothing more,\u201d Clooney argued, adding that his concerns are shared by numerous members of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The concerns within the Democratic Party have been growing, with several elected officials, including Democratic Senators Michael Bennet and Peter Welch, expressing doubts about Biden\u2019s ability to win the election. Welch has called for Biden to withdraw &#8220;for the good of the country,&#8221; while others, like Senator Richard Blumenthal and Congressman Pat Ryan, have also voiced concerns about Biden&#8217;s viability.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubaieye1038.com\/news\/international\/top-democratic-fundraiser-clooney-asks-biden-to-stand-down\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFP Hollywood actor George Clooney has issued a striking call for President Joe Biden to withdraw&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[980,859,979,977,178,179,978,981,690],"class_list":["post-40564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uae","tag-asks","tag-biden","tag-clooney","tag-democratic","tag-dubai","tag-eye","tag-fundraiser","tag-stand","tag-top"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
