Actor George Clooney, one of the Democratic Party’s leading fundraisers, has made an emotional and heartfelt plea for President Joe Biden to end his faltering re-election campaign.
Clooney – a member of the Hollywood elite that provides key support to the Democrats – joined a growing list of public figures, including Nancy Pelosi, calling for Biden, 81, to step aside after his terrible debate performance against Donald Trump last month.
“I love Joe Biden,” Clooney wrote in the New York Times. “I consider him a friend, and I believe in him... But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time.”
The Clooneys are no stranger to the Gulf and the Middle East: his wife, barrister Amal, supported the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in the ‘historic step’ to seek the arrest warrants of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli and Hamas leaders.
She also provided legal advice to His Majesty King Hamad in 2011, specifically in connection with the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry. The 36-year-old speaks Arabic and French and has particular expertise in international criminal law and the Middle East.
