George Clooney has come under fire from his fans after he demanded that Joe Biden resign ahead of Donald Trump’s election victory on Tuesday.
In July, the Ocean’s Eleven actor, 63, wrote an op-ed for the New York Times where he demanded Biden drop out of the presidential race.
Later that same month, the current 46th president of the United States announced his withdrawal from the presidential race and Clooney soon endorsed Kamala Harris when she took his place.
However, after months of bipartisan campaigning, Donald J. Trump became the 47th president-elect of the United States after a huge victory: he currently has 295 electoral votes and also won the popular vote.
Since then, social media users have shared their thoughts on George urging Biden to withdraw from the race months early.

A veteran-led political commentator group called altNOAA wrote on X: “Someone bring me George Clooney.” We need to have a… talk.’
Journalist Joshua Hartley uploaded a screenshot of Clooney’s op-ed and added, “Thank you, George Clooney.”
One X user wrote: “Trump shouldn’t forget to thank Hollywood celebrities.” Especially George Clooney.
A Donald Trump fan also referenced the actor, writing, “It just occurred to me that we haven’t acknowledged George Clooney’s role in this victory!”
‘What made George Clooney change his mind!!’ another fan shared, possibly referencing the actor’s silence on social media following Trump’s victory on Tuesday.
Another added on X: ‘I blame George Clooney because he said there would be no more money… and now look…’
‘Since I’m in a deep depression and feel like lashing out at someone, what’s George Clooney’s plan now?’ one social media user wrote, while another simply added: “It’s all George Clooney’s fault!”
A New York University professor named Laurence F. Maslon opened up to the guardian when it comes to celebrity endorsements.

A Donald Trump fan also referenced the actor, writing, “It just occurred to me that we haven’t acknowledged George Clooney’s role in this victory!”
“I think endorsements have probably always done more for the celebrity than the person being endorsed.”
Maslon added: “It’s a way of attaching your star to someone who seems to be good for you, and maybe there’s a certain kind of glory reflected in that.”
“There probably hasn’t been a Republican candidate for any office in the last 20 years who hasn’t added the word liberal before the word Hollywood when talking about it… People like George Clooney and Robert De Niro, I mean, who cares? “Frankly.” ?’
Margaretha Bentley, a professor at Arizona State University, also told the outlet: “In the academic literature, research has shown that while celebrity endorsements can increase civic engagement and voter registration, it has not been shown to have a direct impact on the way people make their choices. their voting decisions.’
He also added: “Voters may do more research after a celebrity endorses, but they will vote based on their own values and not necessarily the values of the celebrity they endorse.”
It comes just months after Clooney wrote an op-ed calling for President Joe Biden to resign.
He also expressed support for Harris for the first time in July, just two weeks after she said it was time to move on from Biden in the scathing New York Times article.
‘President Biden has demonstrated what true leadership is. “He is saving democracy once again,” he said in a statement to CNN, two days after Biden made the extraordinary decision to drop out of the race.

He endorsed the vice president to succeed him as the Democratic nominee to take on Trump, saying, “We are all very excited to do everything we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest.”
Biden had faced increasingly frantic clamor to step aside after a disastrous debate performance against Trump in June.
Less than a month before dropping out of the race, Clooney had raised $30 million at a fundraiser for Biden.
However, the megastar, who hosted multiple fundraisers for Biden, wrote on July 10 that the president couldn’t win the “battle against time.”
The brutal op-ed was seen as one of the turning points against Biden’s attempt to hold on to the nomination in a bid to secure a second term.
The actor condemned Democratic Party leaders for ignoring “all the warning signs” about Biden’s deteriorating physical and mental health and for trying to defend his car crash debate performance against Trump.

He added that Democratic voters “collectively hold our breath or turn down the volume every time we see the president, whom we respect, step off Air Force One or return to a microphone to answer an impromptu question.”
And earlier this month, before the election, the actor doubled down on his support for Kamala Harris in a campaign ad urging men to consider how voting for Donald Trump will affect the women in their lives.
The ad, published by the left-wing Christian organization Vote Common Good, reminded men that they can lie to their Trump-supporting friends about how they voted.
And he also urged them to think about how their vote will “impact the people who matter most to them” before casting their vote.
The first ad, starring Clooney’s Ocean’s Eleven co-star Julia Roberts, urged women to keep their vows a secret from their husbands and critics called it “nauseating” and “condescending.”
The clip followed a father and his masculine-looking friends on the polls as they encouraged each other to “make America great again.”
Clooney, who narrates the short video, urged voters to think about their families and reminds them that “they can vote however they want and no one will ever know” before the man is seen voting for Harris.
The ad is the second published by Vote Common Good that encourages voters to hide their choices from family or friends.
