ALBAWABA - In Washington D.C. and Hollywood, allegations circulate about a plot between George Clooney and former President Barack Obama. According to rumors, President Joe Biden is being pressured to drop out of the presidential run.
Telegraph journalist Rozina Sabur recently examined Democratic Party divisions around President Biden's candidacy. An incident at a celebrity-filled Los Angeles event last month that collected $30 million for Biden's campaign reinforced these rumors.
Near the conclusion of the ceremony, cameras saw Obama gently escorting Biden off the stage. Many saw this event as an indication of Biden's fragility, sparking social media discussion over his suitability for president.
Obama's co-host, George Clooney, subsequently criticized Biden's performance. Clooney compared Biden's wobbly look to his poor debate performance against Donald Trump in a New York Times opinion article. Clooney said, "We won't win in November with this president."
Biden's team thinks Obama orchestrates Clooney's comments. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said many Democrats believe Obama is discreetly pushing Biden out of the race.
Biden's staff tried to stop Clooney's essay from being published, supporting the idea that the president's campaign is being undermined.
Another Telegraph report by Kate Wells said Clooney would run for president. Clooney, 63, who portrayed a presidential contender in “The Ides of March,” has made controversial remarks.
Wells added that Clooney's vocal call for Biden's resignation has sparked rumors that he may run. Florida Atlantic University political science professor Kevin Wagner said, "George Clooney may run for president. Hollywood stars are charismatic and popular, making them enticing candidates."
However, political expert Rachel Richardson claims that even Clooney would struggle to mount a campaign at this time. “You need substantial financial backing and an established campaign infrastructure,” she remarked.
The Telegraph pieces highlight the Democratic Party's developing dispute on the election's best course, whether Clooney runs or not. Celebrity and politics continue to influence American politics post-Trump.
