Actor and longtime Democratic supporter George Clooney is standing by his decision to call for a change in the party’s 2024 presidential nominee. In a new interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Clooney described his break with President Joe Biden as a matter of principle.
"It was a civic duty," Clooney said in a preview of the full interview airing later on Wednesday. He explained that his decision was prompted by what he saw as dishonesty from his own political allies.
"I’m a Democrat in Kentucky so I get it. When I saw people on my side of the street not telling the truth, I thought that was time," he added.
Clooney, who hosted a high-profile fundraiser last year that brought in over $30 million for Biden’s 2024 campaign, surprised many when he published a New York Times guest essay just weeks later urging Biden to step aside.
