Clooney earlier this month joined a swell of Democrats and allies calling for the president to drop his bid for reelection.

"I love Joe Biden," the actor wrote in a New York Times op-ed. "I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced."
