George Clooney faces backlash over Kamala Harris defeat
Kamala Harris lost the race for the White House to Donald Trump. Although the votes are still being counted, the Democrats are looking for those to blame for their candidate's defeat and have pointed fingers at George Clooney. The actor is facing substantial criticism.
When Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race, the Democrats saw an ideal candidate for president in Kamala Harris. Her fight against Donald Trump in the presidential election was very intense, but in the final stretch it turned out that the Republican candidate gained a significant lead.
While the Republicans are celebrating Trump’s victory, the Democrats have started looking for who to blame for the loss. One person blamed was George Clooney, who in July 2024 wrote an op-ed for the "New York Times," where he wrote about the necessity for Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.
Democrats blame George Clooney for Kamala Harris's loss
Unfortunately for the actor, his words were not forgotten. Democrats posted numerous entries on social media, accusing Clooney of acting against their party. Journalist Joshua Hartley posted a screenshot of Clooney’s op-ed on X, adding ironically: "Thank you, George Clooney".
In the same service, a group of political commentators was created, named "altNOAA." One of the internet users wrote there: "Someone bring me George Clooney...". Meanwhile, the "Daily Mail" quoted a statement from another Democrat, who directly blamed Clooney for Harris's loss. "It’s all George Clooney’s fault" - it reads.
According to surveys from November 7, 2024, Donald Trump received 295 electoral votes to Kamala Harris’s 226. Victory required obtaining 270, so nothing indicates a change in circumstances, and the Republican candidate will be the 47th president of the USA.
