After publishing a scathing op-ed in the New York Times calling for President Biden to end his reelection campaign, actor and Democratic fundraiser George Clooney praised him today (Tuesday) in a statement to CNN for doing so and endorsed his presumed successor, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Clooney said that "President Biden has shown what true leadership is. He’s saving democracy once again. We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest."
