Hollywood star \u2063George Clooney reached out to Obama for approval before writing an Op-Ed \u200bcalling for Biden\u200c to\u200c drop out\u2064 of the\u2063 race.

This lack of \u200csupport from Obama \u2062is significant as Biden has always emphasized their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">close relationship<\/a>. \u200dWithout Obama&#8217;s defense, the Biden campaign is facing\u200d challenges within the Democratic Party. With the Democratic \u2063National Convention\u200d approaching, Biden&#8217;s\u200b chances without Obama&#8217;s support are uncertain.

Despite their close relationship, Obama chose not to protect Biden and did not object to Clooney&#8217;s piece.
