In an interview with\u2064 The New York \u200bTimes, Clooney expressed that there was a lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/historical-association-cant-keep-facts-straight-in-attacking-curriculum-that-celebrates-american-patriotism\/\" title=\"Historical Association&#039;s Inaccurate Attack on &#039;Patriotic Curriculum&#039;\">proper coverage<\/a> about Biden&#8217;s declining mental and physical state, which he first noticed at\u200d a fundraiser where Barack \u2064Obama had to assist Biden. He pointed out that while he has always supported Biden, the president\u2019s administration failed to effectively communicate the country\u2019s economic progress compared to other \u2064G7 nations. Clooney\u200b further\u2063 noted that \u2062the Democratic Party&#8217;s messaging was poor, particularly in managing the narrative surrounding Biden&#8217;s abilities during crucial moments\u200d like debates. He acknowledged that the media&#8217;s selective reporting contributed to a disconnect, with manny, including himself, onyl recognizing Biden&#8217;s decline \u200cwhen they\u2064 observed him without the usual\u2064 positive framing. Ultimately, Clooney \u200dargued that the failures in dialog adversely affected both the party and\u200b the nation.  <\/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\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>George Clooney admitted on Thursday that the media failed to properly cover the declining health of now-former President Joe Biden amid the campaign, also acknowledging that the Democrats meanwhile failed to communicate a compelling message to the country.<\/p>\n<p>The actor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/20\/theater\/george-clooney-broadway-good-night-good-luck.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> The New York Times that he finally realized Biden was in a questionable state last June when he witnessed former President Barack Obama having to lead him off the stage at a fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I saw him for hours a year earlier at the Kennedy Center, and I saw someone much less sharp,&rdquo; Clooney said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always liked Joe Biden, and I like him still,&rdquo; he clarified.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/george-clooney-going-to-dc-pledging-half-a-million-dollars-to-student-anti-gun-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clooney<\/a> agreed that the media &ldquo;dropped the ball&rdquo; when covering the former commander-in-chief, while the campaign did themselves no favors in its failed attempts to explain away the nation&rsquo;s economic woes.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Biden administration was terrible at explaining that we&rsquo;re a world economy, where we were actually doing better than all the other G7 countries,&rdquo; Clooney said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They were bad at telling the story because their messenger was not working at his best, to say the least,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Clooney notably wrote a guest opinion piece for The New York Times after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mike-johnson-confirms-worst-biden-didnt-actually-know-signing-end\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden<\/a> faced President Donald Trump in a debate last summer, urging him to step down even though he faced pressure not to write the article.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe &lsquo;big F-ing deal&rsquo; Biden of 2010,&rdquo; Clooney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/george-clooney-calls-biden-drop-race-just-weeks-hosting-glitzy-fundraiser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> in his guest essay last year.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/saturdays-fun-fraud-facts-seven-unexplainable-results-that-reveal-democrats-didnt-even-try-to-hide-their-fraud\/\" title=\"Saturday&#039;s Fun Fraud Facts: Seven Unexplainable Results that Reveal Democrats Didn&#039;t Even Try to Hide Their Fraud\">wasn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t even the Joe Biden of 2020.

Clooney remarked, \u201cThe Biden administration was poor at explaining our position in a global economy where we were actually performing better than other G7 nations,\u201d adding that their messaging suffered due to Biden not being at his best. Notably, Clooney had previously written an opinion piece for The New York Times urging Biden to step down after witnessing his performance in a debate against Donald Trump last summer. He reflected on how different Biden seemed compared to previous years and highlighted how many liberals were shocked by his performance during debates when they finally saw him without media filters.
