Most Americans didn\u2019t just wake up to the Democrat\u2019s deficiencies, as disastrous as the debate may prove to be for Biden and the left\u2019s chances in November. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/07\/26\/politics\/cnn-poll-biden-2024\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Polls <\/a>for a long time have shown a majority of Democrats have wanted someone other than the octogenarian as their presidential candidate in 2024.  <\/p>\n<p>But the Democrat Party machine to which Clooney has routinely written big checks over the years shrugged off those concerns by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-democratic-party-rigs-the-primaries-candidate-election-voter-new-hampshire-georgia-dnc-kennedy-nominee-326c63d6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rigging the presidential nominating process<\/a> to kill off any competition the incumbent might face. It helped to anoint Biden for a reelection run, knowing the candidate was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/06\/01\/biden-falls-on-stage-is-fine-00099730\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">falling down<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_59agcnLAj4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shaking hands with air<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/video\/watch-biden-mumbles-incoherently-during-speech-at-brewery-74-say-joe-is-too-old\/9381721\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">struggling to string coherent sentences together,<\/a> even with the assistance of a teleprompter. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no hiding Biden anymore, like the Democrats did in the 2020 election. If they could, Clooney and crew would be backing Biden as blindly as fellow celebrity Whoopi Goldberg, who this week said she doesn\u2019t care if Biden has <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/whoopi-goldberg-supporting-joe-biden-pooped-pants-the-view-8674607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cpooped his pants\u201d<\/a> or if he \u201ccan\u2019t put a sentence together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But if they can get rid of him fast, maybe they stand a chance with another candidate, Clooney and the Drop Biden contingent insist. The quick change won\u2019t be so easy for a lot of reasons, in no small part because the old grump-in-chief isn\u2019t cooperating. Biden appears to have little interest in performing what the hypocrites on The New York Times editorial board asserts would be the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/28\/opinion\/biden-election-debate-trump.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> greatest act of \u201cpublic service<\/a> Mr. Biden can now perform.\u201d The easier button would be to move Vice President Kamala Harris up, but she\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/kamala-harris-approval-rating-falls-1922819\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> less liked<\/a> and less <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/trump-approval-rating-tops-50-113529782.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trusted<\/a> to competently run the federal government than her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/trump-approval-rating-tops-50-113529782.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boss<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Clooney knows, however, what the growing list of prominent Democrats is finally saying about old, lonesome Joe: He\u2019s now older than old, and voters can\u2019t unsee what they saw. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is about age. Nothing more. But also nothing that can be reversed. We are not going to win in November with this president,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/batman-actors-ranked-best-worst-2020-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">worst Batman ever<\/a> lamented in his op-ed. <\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s really what it\u2019s all about for the Hollywood fraud and his fellow celebrity leftists, holding on to power \u2014 no matter what it takes to do it. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Matt Kittle is a senior elections correspondent for The Federalist.
