Movie star and lifelong Democrat George Clooney is adding his voice to calls for Joe Biden to leave the presidential race. Clooney says in a New York Times opinion piece Wednesday that he loves Biden, but the party would lose the presidential race as well as any control in Congress with him as the nominee. Clooney has hosted several high-dollar Hollywood fundraisers and argues the party should pick a new nominee at its convention next month. He says the process would be “messy” but would “wake up” voters in the party’s favor.
