Actor Michael Douglas is now expressing deep concern about Joe Biden’s cognitive health – a stark change from just a few months ago, when the Hollywood star made misleading statements about the president’s mental capacity.
Wednesday on ABC sceneryDouglas was asked for his reaction to co-star George Clooney’s calls for Biden to voluntarily withdraw from the campaign.
“I think that’s a valid point,” Douglas said. “I’m deeply, deeply concerned. It’s especially difficult because the Democratic Party has a large congressional base. They have a lot of big names.”

Douglas hosted a major fundraiser for Biden in April with his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the couple donated $100,000 to the Biden Victory Fund for the honor of hosting the event.
