George Clooney Reportedly Upset with Barack Obama Over Presidential Race Commentary
Actor's Op-ed Allegedly Influences Election Outcome, Sparks Backlash
In the aftermath of the 2024 US presidential election, George Clooney is reportedly 'furious' with former President Barack Obama.
The actor is said to believe that Obama manipulated him into writing an op-ed urging President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race due to concerns about his age and cognitive abilities.
Clooney, long a confidant of Obama, published the op-ed days before Biden announced the end of his campaign, raising questions over the President's capacity to compete against Donald Trump, who eventually won a second term.
This op-ed, published in the New York Times, criticized Biden's debate performance and questioned his viability as a candidate.
Clooney's article is seen as a pivotal moment affecting the election's direction, leading to backlash against him.
Reports from Sky News and OK! Magazine suggest that Clooney feels abandoned by Obama, who has not supported him post-election.
An insider notes that Obama, concerned about appearing disloyal, remained silent while Clooney faced the fallout.
Clooney, feeling he's borne the brunt of the repercussions, has vowed not to engage in political maneuvering on behalf of others in the future.
