 George Clooney, a Biden fundraiser host, watched as Barack Obama nudged President Biden offstage in LA and now wants a different Democrat on the top of the ticket, writing, it's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe big effing deal Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate. Some high profile former Obama administration staffers agree. Clooney sees a better crop of candidates in 2020.
