The 63-year-old actor's endorsement and appreciation of Biden come nearly two weeks after he called on the president to stop seeking reelection in a brutal opinion piece published in the New York Times. In the bombshell article, Clooney said that the 81-year-old was not the same Biden he was in either 2010 or 2020.

“I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced,” the Money Monster star wrote. Throughout the article, he made his commitment to serving the Democratic Party clear by highlighting the fact that he had “led some of the biggest fund-raisers in my party's history.”

“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 continued, adding, “This is about age. Nothing more.”
