One of Joe Biden’s longtime Hollywood supporters, Rob Reiner, has suddenly turned the tables on the President, calling for him to step down in a surprising move that has caused shockwaves through the entertainment industry.
In a stunning reversal, Rob Reiner took to social media to declare that it’s time for Joe Biden to exit the stage, emphasizing that a win for Trump would mean the end of democracy. Reiner’s abrupt change of heart has left many of his fellow Hollywood elites scratching their heads, considering his staunch support for Biden just days prior.
It’s time to stop fucking around. If the Convicted Felon wins, we lose our Democracy. Joe Biden has effectively served US with honor, decency, and dignity. It’s time for Joe Biden to step down.

Rob Reiner, known for being a major fundraising force for Biden among Hollywood circles, has been a vocal advocate for the President, even going as far as comparing him to past presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson. However, Reiner’s frustration seemed to reach a boiling point after Biden’s lackluster debate performance, where Reiner was reportedly seen throwing a tantrum over Biden’s struggles on stage.
Despite his public outburst, Reiner attempted to walk back his criticism the following day, reaffirming his support for Biden and framing the decision as an easy one between a supposed caring leader like Biden and a supposed threat to democracy in the form of Trump.
Reiner’s about-face on Biden mirrors a growing trend among Hollywood donors distancing themselves from the President, with other big names like Ari Emanuel, Reed Hastings, Barry Diller, and Damon Lindelof also pulling back their support. As the entertainment industry continues to play a role in shaping political narratives, Reiner’s shift signals a potential turning tide for Biden’s re-election campaign.
