President Joe Biden has ended his 2024 campaign on July 22, following calls from various celebrities, including George Clooney and Ashley Judd, for him to step down. Clooney praised Biden for 'saving democracy' and showing 'true leadership' in his decision to withdraw. In a statement to CNN, Clooney endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming election, expressing excitement and support for her historic quest. Clooney's endorsement, which follows his scathing op-ed, is seen as significant in the political landscape, as he is a prominent actor and Democratic fundraiser.
