Washington, July 10 – Hollywood actor and prominent Democratic donor George Clooney has called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, citing concerns about the president's age and ability to win the upcoming election. Clooney's remarks come just weeks after he raised a significant sum of money for Biden's re-election campaign.

Clooney, known for his lifelong support of the Democratic Party, expressed his concerns in an opinion piece published in *The New York Times*. He acknowledged Biden's accomplishments over the past four years but emphasized that the president's age could hinder his chances of securing another term.

"I love Joe Biden as a senator, vice president, and president," Clooney wrote. "I also consider him a friend. I have faith in him. But the Biden I saw at the June 15 fundraiser was not the Biden of 2010, or even the Biden of 2020. It's an age thing. I don't think we can win the November election with this president."

Clooney's call for Biden to step down reflects a growing sentiment within the Democratic Party. Concerns have been mounting since Biden's performance in a televised debate with rival Donald Trump on June 27, which many critics viewed as lackluster. Despite Biden's efforts to address these concerns, anxiety within the party persists.

Several Democratic leaders are now looking for a new candidate who they believe can better represent the party in the 2024 election. Clooney's public appeal adds to the pressure on Biden, as calls for his withdrawal from the race grow louder.

"I love Joe Biden as a senator, vice president, and president," Clooney continued. "I also consider him a friend. I have faith in him. But the Biden I saw at the June 15 fundraiser was not the Biden of 2010, or even the Biden of 2020. It's an age thing. I don't think we can win the November election with this president."

The coming months will be crucial for the Democratic Party as it navigates these internal challenges and prepares for the 2024 presidential election. The decision Biden makes in response to these calls could significantly shape the party's future and its chances of retaining the White House.
