After being partly blamed for the defeat of Kamala Harris in the presidential election, George Clooney decided to step away from politics.
In July, the actor wrote an op-ed, where he called for Joe Biden to resign before he endorsed Harris.
Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were supported by various Hollywood stars, including Julia Roberts and George Clooney.
Clooney decided to take a break from politics to avoid being used as a scapegoat for the defeat of the Democrats. He also supported Kamala Harris after he called for Biden to resign as the party’s presidential nominee.
After Harris lost to Trump, some people blamed Clooney for the party’s failure, and the actor reportedly felt that he was being unfairly blamed for the defeat of Harris.
According to the Daily Mail, Clooney believes that it is unfair to make him a scapegoat for the loss of Harris. He has supported the Democratic Party in the past, and he is now planning on taking a break from politics.
Even though Biden decided not to run for the presidency, Clooney did not urge the Democratic Party to replace him with Harris.
He believed that the party should take its time before making a decision. The Daily Mail claimed that after the actor’s op-ed, the Democrats immediately started supporting Harris.
A source close to George Clooney stated that the actor did not endorse Harris immediately because he believed the party should have taken a more deliberate approach in choosing a candidate.
After the election on November 5, Donald Trump was declared the winner of the presidential election. He received over 300 electoral votes more than Harris.
In July, Clooney called for Biden to resign from the presidential race in an op-ed he wrote. He stated that the Democratic Party would not be able to win in November with Trump as the president.
Although he contributed to Biden’s campaign, Clooney supported Harris after she announced that she would run for president.
Many people have blamed Clooney for Harris’ loss, as he played a role in removing Biden from the race. One user noted that this caused Harris to lose. Another user called him a late loser.
Some people have also called for Clooney to move back to Europe. On X, an alt-political commentator group posted that it is time for Trump to bring George Clooney to the table.
Another user stated that the actor has been going through a tough time due to Trump’s recent comments about him.
Another user stated that George Clooney is one of the celebrities who would like to leave the country if Trump wins the election.
Some of these individuals include Cher, Amy Schumer, and Sharon Stone. They reportedly told their friends that they would like to leave rather than continue living under a Trump presidency for four more years.
