George and Amal Clooney are interviewed on stage at the Skoll World Forum in Oxford. The barrister and her actor husband spoke at the 2024 Skoll World Forum in Oxford about their work with Clooney Foundation For Justice, which they co-founded and co-chair.
The actor was pivotal in forcing Biden, 81, out of race with scathing op-ed. READ HERE: How George Clooney 's wife George Clooney threw his support behind Kamala Harris for president just two weeks after turning on President Joe Biden by writing a scathing op-ed urging him to drop out.
'His endorsement of Kamala was definitely calculated. George is contemplating a future run for president and he has the support of one of the most powerful Democrats in the world, Barack Obama. 'There was a massive push amongst the Democrats to get Biden out of the race. George flicked the domino, which launched him into a different political spectrum,' the government insider revealed.
Clooney endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, 59 last month after the Democratic candidate raised a record-breaking $81 million in 24 hours Read MoreEXCLUSIVE The real reason Amal Clooney skipped George's $28M fundraiser for Biden In 2016 George and his wife Amal started the Clooney Foundation for Justice, an organization to put an end to human rights abuses worldwide, with programs dedicated to fighting systemic injustice against vulnerable communities.Over the years, the Oscar winning actor has testified before Congress and worked with two Secretaries of State, dozens of Senators and U.S.
Clooney thanked Biden for 'saving democracy' just two weeks after he wrote in an op-ed 'we are not going to win with this president' 'Without George, Biden wouldn't have been forced out. He started the push with Obama's support and guidance,' the source told DailyMail.com. Three weeks prior to Clooney's op-ed, on June 16, the actor hosted a fundraiser for Biden that raised a record-breaking $28 million.Biden announced his seismic decision in a one-page letter posted on social media, stating that it was in the country's 'best interest' that he step down. In it he committed to serving until the end of this term in January.
'But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe 'big F-ing deal' Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,' he said.
