Oscar-winning actor and influential Democrat George Clooney is weighing in on who he believes should lead the party next, nearly a year after playing a key role in pushing President Joe Biden off the 2024 ticket with a scathing New York Times op-ed.
In a candid interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Wednesday, while promoting his Broadway adaptation of “Good Night and Good Luck,” Clooney gave a strong endorsement to one rising Democrat he said is “levitating above” the rest: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore.
When Tapper asked who he had his “eyes on,” Clooney praised several prominent Democrats before confidently singling out Moore as his top pick.
