Hollywood star George Clooney on Tuesday backed Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her a "historic" candidate to lead the White House after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.
Many Democratic supporters in Hollywood see Clooney as something of a mentor, given his involvement and activism. When he published a New York Times op-ed earlier this month urging Biden not to go after his re-election debate debacle, it was one of several turning points in the movement that ultimately ended with Biden resigning.
"President Biden showed what real leadership is. He saves democracy again. We are all excited to do everything we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic endeavor," Clooney said.
