Jake Tapper from CNN talked about a statement from the Biden campaign saying that President Biden is stronger than George Clooney. The statement was made in response to an article written by the actor this week. Clooney urged Biden to step down from the November race because of his performance in the CNN debate against Donald Trump. Clooney had previously hosted a fundraising event for Biden in June that raised over $28 million for his campaign.
Clooney wrote that the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser wasn’t the Joe Biden of 2010. He was not the Joe Biden of 2020. We all saw him at the debate. A campaign official told CNN’s Kayla Tausche that Clooney had left the event three hours before the president, which suggests that Biden has more stamina than the Hollywood actor.
“But what does that mean? That George Clooney left three before? What’s the point?” Tapper asked.
“The point of that is to suggest that Biden’s stamina is better than Clooney’s. And Clooney didn’t have, you know, eyes on the entire event. That’s the response to the Clooney op-ed,” said Tausche.
“Okay,” Tapper responded.
