George Clooney called on Joe Biden to withdraw from the upcoming presidential race, the actor commented in a material for the "New York Times" , AP and BTA broadcast.
Clooney is a longtime supporter of the Democratic Party in the US and has raised funds for its candidates, including Biden. Clooney expressed his admiration for Biden, but warned that if he remains a presidential candidate, the party faces a significant risk of losing not only the presidency but also control of Congress.
„This is not just my opinion; "That's the opinion of every senator, congressman and governor I've spoken to personally," Clooney said.
Clooney said the party should choose a new candidate at its convention next month, saying the process would be "messed up" but would "wake up" voters in favor of the party, quoted by BTA.
Biden remained steadfast in his decision to continue his re-election campaign despite his poor showing in the debates against Donald Trump.
