George Clooney has found himself on the hot seat following Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat, quickly becoming a prime scapegoat for political pundits scratching their heads over the Democratic Party’s implosion. The actor, who has famously floated through Hollywood while collecting accolades, did what any good Democrat would: he started pointing fingers at his own party. In a public display of discontent, Clooney pushed for President Biden’s ouster earlier in the year after a debate performance that even a kindergarten teacher would grade as “needs improvement.”
In a riveting piece for the New York Times, Clooney’s essay practically screamed for a change in leadership with a headline that might as well be emblazoned on a Democratic party banner: “I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee.” High praise indeed for a man who couldn’t maintain his own party’s trust. Clooney mused over the political landscape, clinging to his Democratic roots while expressing gratitude to Biden for supposedly steering the ship through the turbulent waters of the Trump era. However, an unmistakable chill hung in the air as he admitted the obvious—that the current captain might just be too old to weather another storm.

As whispers of discontent swirled, insiders suggest that the behind-the-scenes maneuvering was straight out of a political thriller novel—think “Ocean’s Eleven,” but with less charm and more backstabbing. Clooney was allegedly recruited by the big dog himself, Barack Obama, who wanted to sweep Biden aside with a perfectly choreographed pressure campaign. Clooney’s contributions, or perhaps his miscalculations, now bear the brunt of criticism for the defeat of Vice President Harris, after all, who else would the Democrats blame for their own missteps but each other?
In the aftermath of Trump’s electoral victory, which marked a historic moment for the GOP—a popular vote win by a Republican candidate for the first time since 2004—Clooney’s role as the poster child for the Democratic Party’s self-destructiveness crystallized. The Democrat celebrity club was not limited to Clooney; other notorious figures like Joe Scarborough, Stephen King, and Nancy Pelosi joined the chorus calling for Biden to step aside. With a line-up like that, it sounds more like a desperate plea from a sinking ship than an organized political strategy.
Reports from various sources hinted that Biden’s endorsement of Harris was his way of giving the party leaders a resounding “no thanks” after they attempted to box him into a corner. Enter Pelosi, the self-appointed enforcer, who allegedly threatened to leak her own findings on Biden’s perceived incompetence. According to some reports, even the now-lowly Biden had his “come to Jesus moment” because of Pelosi’s tactics, leading to a dramatic resignation strategy that would make even the most hardened politician roll their eyes in disbelief. Yet, through all the chaos, Clooney and his Hollywood pals are left to solace themselves in their movie marathons, while the rest of the country watches the Democratic Party peel apart like an overripe banana.
