George Clooney Criticizes Biden's Leadership and Media's Role in 2024 Election

The actor reflects on Biden's decision to step down, Trump’s second term, and the challenges of political messaging and media accountability.

George Clooney expressed disappointment with the Biden administration's messaging, citing its failure to effectively communicate economic successes during Biden's presidency.
The actor criticized the media for not adequately covering Biden's declining fitness for office, which he observed firsthand during a 2024 fundraiser.
Clooney defended his controversial op-ed calling for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, saying it was motivated by concerns over Biden’s capacity to serve another term.
He described Trump’s second term as a period where 'no rules count anymore,' reflecting his concerns about the erosion of norms and accountability in politics.
Clooney is set to make his Broadway debut in a stage adaptation of 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' portraying journalist Edward R. Murrow in a story about truth and media integrity.
