Following the backlash from the Democrats’ loss in the 2024 presidential election, actor George Clooney has allegedly voiced sentiments of betrayal by former President Barack Obama. After publicly casting doubt on President Joe Biden’s health and mental capacity—a decision he now apparently regrets—the actor reportedly felt abandoned, according to those close to him.
Clooney’s Controversial Op-Ed Sparks Debate
In a widely read opinion article, Clooney had publicly blasted Biden and questioned if he could remain president. The op-ed was published at the same time that Biden declared he would not run for reelection and instead support Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him.
Clooney emphasized what he called Biden’s “decreased vitality” in the article. Referring to a debate with Donald Trump in June, Clooney wrote, “The Joe Biden I met recently isn’t the same leader from 2010 or even 2020. He mirrored the man we saw at the debate—a version that lacks the vitality needed to win in November.”
Clooney’s remarks provoked strong reactions from supporters of the Democratic Party as well as his Hollywood colleagues. Additionally, his criticism heightened media attention to Biden’s leadership and the party’s prospects.
Frustration with Obama Post-Election
According to reports, Clooney’s annoyance increased following Donald Trump’s victory announcement on September 7, the day the Democrats lost. Insiders claim that Clooney felt Obama had urged him to openly doubt Biden’s qualifications. But when Obama refused to publicly endorse this story, he apparently felt abandoned.
A source quoted in a magazine stated, “George is livid with Obama for disappearing after the election fallout. Barack avoided publicly criticizing Biden to maintain his image, while George became the face of the strategy.”
Clooney reportedly felt vulnerable and alone as a result of Obama’s apparent lack of support. According to sources, the actor felt he was being exploited as a political pawn and held responsible for the Democratic Party’s failures.
Clooney Vows to Exit Political Strategy
According to reports, Clooney has reexamined his political activity as a result of the impact from this scandal. According to people close to the actor, he intends to stay away from politically sensitive campaigns going forward. “He feels he was left holding the bag and doesn’t want to be anyone’s scapegoat again,” an insider stated.
There has been conjecture over Clooney’s future political loyalties due to his vocal disenchantment with Obama. Even though he has always been seen as a fervent Democratic supporter, this experience could cause him to become less involved in political arguments or take a more neutral position.
