Hollywood A-lister George Clooney played a key role in the alleged Barack Obama-led coup against Joe Biden, and the actor has reportedly cast a lustful eye on a role greater than any he has played on the big screen.
The 63-year-old “Ocean’s 11” star, who is one of Obama’s BFF’s in Tinseltown, greased the rails for the geriatric Democrat’s ouster from the party’s ticket with a New York Times op-ed calling for the 81-year-old to step down.
“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,” wrote Clooney, who just weeks before headlined a star-studded fundraiser for Biden, along with Julia Roberts and Obama.

Biden never recovered.
Now it’s being reported that the actor, who’s married to crusading international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, may have used his op-ed that inserted himself into the 2024 election as a part of a “calculated” effort for his own run for the White House in the future.
“His endorsement of Kamala was definitely calculated. George is contemplating a future run for president and he has the support of one of the most powerful Democrats in the world, Barack Obama,” an insider within the Democratic party told the Daily Mail.
“He has his scope set on a possible run for a Senate seat in 2026 and will undoubtedly continue to gain respect within the Democratic party,” the insider said.
“There was a massive push amongst the Democrats to get Biden out of the race. George flicked the domino, which launched him into a different political spectrum,” the source told the outlet of Clooney’s sucker punching of Biden.
The insider told the Daily Mail that Clooney’s path to a political future has been paved by his chummy relationship with the nation’s 44th president.
“Obama’s backing for George is evidence that Clooney is being groomed for a future in politics,” the source said. “Everyone recognizes the power and pull that George has, especially with Amal by his side.”
“George is not battle tested and has never run for office, but neither did Trump,” the insider noted, downplaying the actor’s lack of experience in the political arena. “What George does have is money and lots of pull. He could easily fund himself if he really needed to.”
“Without George, Biden wouldn’t have been forced out. He started the push with Obama’s support and guidance,” the source told the Daily Mail.
“Obama’s main advisor Ben Shapiro called for Biden to step down before George and didn’t get enough traction. George then followed with his op-ed because they knew the traction that his op-ed would get,” the insider added. “He had nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
“President Biden has shown what true leadership is. He’s saving democracy once again. We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest,” Clooney said in a statement after he stabbed Biden in the back.
