Hollywood is starting to turn on Biden

  • Weeks after George Clooney co-hosted a $28 million fundraiser for Biden, he wants him to drop out.
  • Biden's Hollywood support has begun to wane as Clooney and other moguls publicly express doubts.

Biden has claimed that calls for him to step aside following his disastrous debate in June are coming from the party's elite instead of everyday Americans, but he has long relied on Hollywood for support — the star-studded event last month was the most lucrative Democratic Party fundraiser to date.
