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

I mean is any of this even remotely helpful? They should’ve thought of this last year at the most.

No it’s harmful and it’s absolute performative bullshit

100% we don't more discord as it is George!!

It's messy now for sure but July doesn't matter; November does. And it's Dems best (and I'd argue only) shot of winning. Just my opinion :)

Is it helpful to coddle a man clearly in decline who is underwater in all swing states? I think we need to get real here. How does Biden win over the voters he needs to when he can't communicate effectively?

Do we a strong and charismatic replacement ready to go and really shake the voters? No, so this is not helpful.

This should’ve been brought 2-3 years ago.

So we stick with the guy who is underwater and who will (undoubtedly) have gaffe, after gaffe, after gaffe until November? He was facing an uphill battle to win 2024 and I don't see how he makes this up.

It should have and was brought up four years ago and the Dem establishment kept pushing it off. We're at a point of no return now. Telling voters, actually there's nothing we can do, is not how you energize the base. Replacing now is not ideal but pretending we don't have a problem isn't helpful. IMO, they need to have Kamala at the head of the ticket and pick some popular midwestern dude as VP and get on with it.
