Clooney, \u200ba\u2062 Democratic Party insider, called for Biden to step aside from running\u2062 for another term after\u200d hosting\u200c a \u2063fundraiser for him \u200dand observing his\u2062 behavior up close.\u2064 His call for an open primary after the\u2063 primary season was met with criticism from presumptive GOP nominee Donald \u2064Trump, who\u200c told Clooney\u2064 to &#8220;get out of politics.&#8221; Clooney&#8217;s \u2064suggestions were dismissed as unrealistic by Trump, who criticized \u200cBiden for his handling of various issues during his presidency. Despite Clooney&#8217;s plea for a new \u2064nominee,\u2063 Trump argued that Biden&#8217;s actions have brought democracy to\u200b its knees and that Clooney should stick to acting\u200c instead of politics. This exchange\u200c highlights the \u200congoing debate within the Democratic \u200dParty about Biden&#8217;s ability to lead and \u200cthe need for a potential replacement.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"> <?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/cillianzeal\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/cillianzeal\/%20\"><span>C.

The man has access to a smartphone, assumedly, yet has never been on social media. No, the only way Clooney, a Democratic Party insider known for his boosterism, knew what was evident for anyone who\u2019s seen video of the president these past five or so years, was to host a fundraiser for the president and look at him close up.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the actor said in a New York Times Op-Ed that he wants Biden to step aside from running for another term based off this sudden realization. Not only that, but \u2014 like other left-of-center personages who likely have seen that Vice President Kamala Harris is about as popular as cryptosporidium poisoning, such as \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=S9LZXheHddI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jon Stewart<\/a> \u2014 he wants something like an open primary after the primary season is over.<\/p>\n<p>Presumptive GOP nominee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-warned-potential-vp-pick-constitutional-problem-cost-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> had four words for Clooney\u2019s sudden realization about Biden in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">social media post<\/a>: \u201cget out of politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, he said a bit more than <em>that<\/em>, saying the actor \u201cnever came close to making a great movie\u201d and asked, rhetorically, \u201cWhat does Clooney know about anything?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not a whole lot that the rest of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nyt-drops-bomb-biden-debate-wants-race-not-man-four-years-ago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times doesn\u2019t know<\/a> \u2014 but since he\u2019s a famous actor whose line roughly echoes the Times\u2019 on this and their writers are only famous within wonk circles, mostly, he got invited to join the steady drumbeat of voices from the paper\u2019s opinion page calling for Biden to drop out.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to an editorial less than 24 hours after Biden\u2019s debate debacle on June 27 demanding he step aside as nominee \u2014 then another editorial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/08\/opinion\/editorials\/democrats-biden-truth.html?pgtype=Article&#038;action=click&#038;module=RelatedLinks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">piece<\/a> earlier this week, after it became clear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-ignores-reality-tells-donors-done-talking-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden was refusing to step aside<\/a>, titled \u201cThe Democratic Party Must Speak the Plain Truth to the President\u201d and tell him he needs to step aside \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/george-clooney-calls-biden-drop-race-just-weeks-hosting-glitzy-fundraiser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clooney contributed<\/a> a Wednesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/10\/opinion\/joe-biden-democratic-nominee.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essay<\/a> titled \u201cI Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In it, the \u201clifelong Democrat\u201d who brags about having \u201cled some of the biggest fund-raisers in my party\u2019s history\u201d for presidential candidates talks in broad terms about coming face-to-face with the Joe Biden America saw up on a debate stage on June 27 at one of those fundraisers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he\u2019s won many of the battles he\u2019s faced,\u201d Clooney wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It\u2019s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe \u2018big F-ing deal\u2019 Biden of 2010. He wasn\u2019t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No word from the \u201cOceans Eleven\u201d actor on where the Joe \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/blogs\/politics\/2012\/08\/vp-biden-says-republicans-are-going-to-put-yall-back-in-chains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">They\u2019re gonna put y\u2019all back in chains!<\/a>\u201d Biden of 2012 or the Joe \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/joe-bidens-biggest-gaffe-yet-poor-kids-just-bright-just-talented-white-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids<\/a>\u201d Biden of 2019 fit on this scale, but George says it\u2019s time for Joe to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWas he tired? Yes. A cold? Maybe. But our party leaders need to stop telling us that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/george-clooney-calls-on-biden-to-drop-out-of-race-just-weeks-after-hosting-glitzy-fundraiser-for-him\/\" title=\"George Clooney Calls On Biden to Drop Out of Race, Just Weeks After Hosting Glitzy Fundraiser for Him\">51 million people didn\u2019<\/a>t see what we just saw [at the debate],\u201d Clooney wrote in the Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all so terrified by the prospect of a second Trump term that we\u2019ve opted to ignore every warning sign,\u201d he added. \u201cThe George Stephanopoulos interview only reinforced what we saw the week before. As Democrats, we collectively hold our breath or turn down the volume whenever we see the president, whom we respect, walk off Air Force One or walk back to a mic to answer an unscripted question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, that sounds like your own fault, now, doesn\u2019t it? The party already had four years to talk about what would happen in the event Joe Biden couldn\u2019t carry on, which wasn\u2019t an impossibility given his age, frail-seeming nature and the frequency with which gaffes kept occurring.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did they <em>not<\/em> come to any decision on how to handle it, the party basically chose a nominating process which favored Biden and gave prospective big-name nominees the cold shoulder. The biggest elected name he faced was Rep. Dean \u201cWho?\u201d Phillips of Minnesota, and the biggest name in the race \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rfk-jr-doubles-brain-worm-diagnosis-offers-eat-six-worm-handicap-debates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/a> \u2014 was essentially disowned by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kennedy-family-put-blast-treating-rfk-jr-mark-totalitarian-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his own powerful family<\/a> before deciding to drop out and run as an independent.<\/p>\n<p>But, Clooney says, it\u2019s \u201cdisingenuous, at best, to argue that Democrats have already spoken with their vote and therefore the nomination is settled and done, when we just received new and upsetting information.\u201d Oh, you mean like the stuff that\u2019s been appearing on news channels and social media since, say, Biden started running in 2019? That information?<\/p>\n<p>So, Clooney wants something like an open primary in the weeks before the convention, only a really nice open primary where candidates say nothing but fuzzy things about each other, something that\u2019s going to be about as easy as getting all the children under the age of 5 in the United States to clap their hands simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s hear from [Maryland Gov.] Wes Moore and Kamala Harris and [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer and [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom and [Kentucky Gov.] Andy Beshear and [Illinois Gov.] J.B. Pritzker and others,\u201d he wrote. \u201cLet\u2019s agree that the candidates not attack one another but, in the short time we have, focus on what will make this country soar. Then we could go into the Democratic convention next month and figure it out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould it be messy? Yes. Democracy is messy. But would it enliven our party and wake up voters who, long before the June debate, had already checked out? It sure would.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the guy who spent the first part of his piece bragging about how he\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/top-biden-fundraisers-report-depression-strategy-goes-smoke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a huge fundraiser<\/a> for the Democratic Party in general and Biden in particular spent the second part talking about how he was just as clueless as the guy on the couch at home.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, Trump said in a post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trumps-truth-social-announces-live-tv-streaming-platform-content-cancelled-suppressed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Truth Social<\/a>, his place isn\u2019t in politics or on the Times\u2019 opinion page writing guest essays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo now fake movie actor George Clooney, who never came close to making a great movie, is getting into the act. He\u2019s turned on Crooked Joe like the rats they both are,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWhat does Clooney know about anything?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe uses the Democrat \u2018talking point\u2019 that Biden, the WORST President in the history of the United States, has \u2018saved our Democracy.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, Crooked Joe was the one who WEAPONIZED Law Enforcement against his political Opponent, who created the most devastating INFLATION in the history of our Country, who Embarrassed our Nation in Afghanistan, and whose crazy Open Border Policy has allowed millions of people to illegally pour into our Country, many from prisons and mental institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrooked Joe Biden didn\u2019t save our Democracy, he brought our Democracy to its knees,\u201d Trump added. \u201cClooney should get out of politics and go back to television. Movies never really worked for him!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, to be fair, I like a few Clooney movies: \u201cOcean\u2019s Eleven,\u201d \u201cThree Kings,\u201d \u201cMichael Clayton\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2021\/film\/reviews\/grizzly-ii-revenge-review-1234881935\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grizzly II: Revenge<\/a>,\u201d among others. That being said, if he\u2019s as good at politics as he is at acting, I\u2019m kind of wondering if I like those films <em>in spite<\/em> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/angry-george-clooney-called-white-house-complain-bidens-israel-comments-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clooney<\/a>, not <em>because<\/em> of him.<\/p>\n<p>That said, like most actors who try to become activists via lending their names to causes and candidates, Clooney is pretty much out of his depth here. This has been a known problem for anyone who cared to look over the past four years. The closest the actor gets to something approximating truth in his Op-Ed is when he says that certain people \u2014 he doesn\u2019t mention himself, of course \u2014 refuse to look because they don\u2019t want to bear the thought of Donald Trump winning another term.<\/p>\n<p>This is the Democrats\u2019 problem. There\u2019s no easy way out of it, certainly not the pie-in-the-sky method endorsed by Clooney which would somehow facilitate the neatest, most orderly way to do a \u201cmessy\u201d job.<\/p>\n<p>They had a chance to plan for it after Biden secured the White House, refused to, and then decided in late June of this year, long after the primary process had completed, that it was high time the president leave the campaign trail to be substituted for someone who comes across a bit better. It doesn\u2019t exactly work that way, alas \u2014 and anyone who thinks it does not need to be giving us their unqualified opinion on the matter.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>\u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Former Lt.
