George Clooney urges Joe Biden to step down as the 2024 Democratic nominee for president in a new op-ed:

“We are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate. This isn’t only my opinion; this is the… pic.twitter.com/EArMreTtMk

My personal thoughts on Biden aside, I really do not give 2 shits what George Clooney has to say about his candidacy, and it’s ridiculous this has been a top story all day.

Sadly, more people will listen to Clooney than another politician or political spin doctor.

I know little about him other than mums love him and he’s mates with Pitt (ew). Why should we not listen to him? (Not starting anything, genuinely curious.)

It’s less about Clooney himself and more annoyance at a celebrity’s statement on the election being breaking news all day on most news sites. I know he’s known as a more “politically active” celeb and he’s married to Amal, but the media is making his statement into such a big deal just because he’s George Clooney.

I’m just annoyed that any time any rando decides to give his 2 cents on Biden’s candidacy it’s reported as major news when there’s so many more important things we should be reporting on, such as the ongoing genocide and Trump and Project 2025.

(Hope this reply isn’t coming across as confrontational. I’m just sick of the way the media has been reporting on basically everything since the debate.)

He is a major Dem donor tho

[angriest_girl]

Not confrontational at all - thank you for explaining!

[champagnexdream]

Yeah I feel like of any celeb he’s not among the bottom of who I’d want to hear from considering who he’s married to, though I wish it was Amal herself speaking instead

[soyunatetera]

Amal can't say anything since she's an advisor in the ICC and would harm the case against netanyahu

[champagnexdream]

Ooo that makes sense yeah

[hallyujah]

Is she an American citizen? sorry idk

[champagnexdream]

IDTS but I’d still listen to her more lol

[invisiblegirlx]

It's a big deal cause he's a big donor. His opinion matters for that reason.

[hallyujah]

True, but Clooney is right.
