Not the 'Joe big f**** deal Biden' I knew: George Clooney's damning op-ed Rocks Democrats In U.S

Oscar-winning actor, producer and prominent Democratic Party fundraiser George Clooney wrote an op-ed published in The New York Times Wednesday praising President Biden, but arguing that Democrats need a new nominee and calling for Mr. Biden to exit the 2024 race hours after senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi swerved questions about whether he should continue. Clooney wrote in The New York Times that it was "devastating to say it" but the Biden he met at a fundraising event three weeks ago was not the "'Joe 'big ****ing deal' Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020." #GeorgeClooney #Biden #BidenPresident #Joebiden #PresidentBiden #Worldnews #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~PR.320~HT.95~ED.101~
