Last I checked, this A+/A list actor who sometimes directs barely spends any time in the US at all.
He has discussed giving up his citizenship for tax reasons, but somehow he is the authority everyone looks to for political advice?
George Clooney
Actor George Clooney endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race after President Joe Biden announced his exit. Clooney praised Biden’s leadership and expressed excitement to support Harris in her “historic quest.” Known for his political engagement, Clooney had earlier written a New York Times op-ed urging Biden not to seek reelection following a poor debate performance. This op-ed was pivotal in the movement leading to Biden’s decision to withdraw.
Clooney’s influence was significant, having helped raise $28 million for Biden’s campaign at a June fundraiser. However, his op-ed noted a decline in Biden’s capabilities compared to previous years, questioning his fitness for another term. Clooney’s endorsement is part of a broader wave of support for Harris, who has now secured more than the necessary 1,976 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.
