George Clooney calls on Biden to drop out of presidential race
“All-Star” panelists Aisha Husney, Guy Benson and Jason Reilly join “Special Report” to discuss concerns raised by Democrats and prominent liberal figures about President Biden’s health and reelection campaign.
Former President Trump has spent the past few hours criticizing actor George Clooney on his Truth Social platform, including a video that superimposed President Biden’s face over a scene from one of Clooney’s films.
“So I wish I had more good news to share with you, but the fact is, the reason you and I are sitting here today is because this will be your last week of work,” Clooney’s “Up in the Air” character says in the video. Trump posted. The video shows Biden looking into the camera during a recent interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
“This is not a rating of your productivity,” Clooney continued. “Please don’t take this personally.”
“Well, tonight was just terrible,” Biden responded.

The Biden-mocking video came shortly after President Trump slammed Clooney on Truth Social after he called on Biden to drop out of the race just weeks after attending a Hollywood fundraiser with Biden.
“So George Clooney, a fake movie actor who never made a great movie, got the role,” Trump wrote. In the post“He turned his back on Crooked Joe like they were rats. What on earth does Clooney know?”

Jon Favreau, an adviser to former President Barack Obama who was part of a group often referred to as “the Obama Brothers” during his time in the White House, was at the Hollywood fundraiser and echoed similar sentiments following Clooney’s announcement.
“It wasn’t a surprise to us at the fundraiser,” Favreau told CNN. “I was there. Clooney was right, and everyone I spoke to at the fundraiser was thinking the same thing, except for the people who work for Joe Biden. At least they didn’t say that.”
Biden has said he has no plans to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, and his campaign remains “full steam ahead,” a source told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Biden campaign and Clooney’s representatives for comment but did not receive a response.
