Hunter Biden Criticizes Clooney for Influencing Father's Campaign Exit
One year after Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race, his son Hunter expresses discontent with George Clooney's public call for his father to step down.
In interviews marking one year since Joe Biden's decision to abandon his re-election bid, his son Hunter has harshly criticized actor George Clooney.
Clooney was among the first prominent Democrats to publicly urge Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, citing concerns about Biden's age and mental acuity following a debate with Donald Trump in June 2024.
Hunter Biden expressed strong disapproval towards Clooney's action, stating that he believed the public opinion of voters in areas like Green Bay, Wisconsin, was not swayed by celebrities' opinions on political matters.
The interviews, conducted by independent journalist Andrew Callaghan and Democratic National Committee former chair Jaime Harrison, shed light on the tension surrounding Biden's decision to exit the race.
Clooney had published an essay in the New York Times, expressing his concerns about Biden's ability to compete effectively in the election.
Hunter Biden, who has faced legal troubles and drug addiction issues himself, criticized Clooney for influencing a decision that led to his father's political career ending abruptly.
Despite this controversy, Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race on July 21, just weeks after Clooney's essay was published.
