This is the situation that President Joe Biden&#8217;s re-election campaign found itself in when liberal actor George Clooney called for Biden to drop out of the race. Even commentators on CNN, who are typically supportive of Biden, were laughing at the response from Biden&#8217;s team. Clooney&#8217;s criticism stemmed from a fundraiser where Biden appeared to be struggling, leading Clooney to question Biden&#8217;s ability to run for re-election. In response, Biden&#8217;s team pointed to his upcoming travel schedule and fundraising events as evidence of his stamina, even suggesting that he has more energy than Clooney. This attempt at spin was met with confusion and laughter, even from CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper. The fact that a typically liberal network like CNN was laughing at a Democratic president does not bode well for Biden&#8217;s campaign. In politics, being laughed at is a sign of weakness, and Biden may have already lost if even his supporters are finding humor in his campaign<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2007,"featured_media":2292736,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Jake-Tapper-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[33042,9373,17803,34524,15477],"class_list":["post-2292735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden-camp","tag-cnn","tag-confusion","tag-george-clooney","tag-laughter"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Jake-Tapper-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2292735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2007"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2292735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2292735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2292736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2292735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2292735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2292735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
