US EditionBiden didn’t recognize George Clooney at 2024 fundraiser, new book says
- At a high-profile fundraiser in Los Angeles during June 2024, former President Joe Biden failed to recognize actor George Clooney, one of the event’s co-hosts.
- This incident occurred amid widespread speculation about Biden’s cognitive decline in his final year, which he and Jill Biden denied in a joint interview earlier that month.
- During the fundraiser, Biden appeared confused and froze onstage several times, leading Barack Obama to guide him offstage repeatedly while the event raised over $30 million for Democrats.
- Authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson described Biden’s interaction with Clooney as surreal, noting Biden’s response was only “Yeah, yeah” after an aide reminded him who Clooney was.
- Following a poor June 27 debate, Clooney published an op-ed urging Biden to exit the race, and Biden ended his reelection campaign eleven days later, reflecting significant campaign challenges.
