House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi chose the political path, as she tried to nudge Biden out the door without offending him. So she has offered that Biden is going to have to make up his mind about running. She ignores the fact that Biden has made up his mind. In a letter he sent to fellow Democrats on July 8, Biden made it clear he plans to stay in the race.
George Clooney doesn’t have to be polite. In an opinion piece in the New York Times, the actor wrote that while he considers Biden a friend, the party needs a new nominee because time is not on the president’s side.
Clooney’s prescription, however, shows how much the party settled for mediocre talent.
Clooney proposed a convention battle for the nomination, even though Vice President Kamala Harris is next in line. That’s a cynical admission that both the president and vice president aren’t up for the job. That didn’t stop Clooney from hosting a fundraiser that raised $28 million for Biden-Harris.
