Recent developments reveal that Joy Behar, co-host of “The View,” has expressed dissatisfaction with remarks made by actor George Clooney concerning former Vice President Joe Biden’s participation in the 2024 presidential election.
The issue surfaced following an interview where Clooney, speaking to “The Hollywood Reporter,” proposed that Biden might need to withdraw from the election should he not receive the Democratic nomination. Clooney was quoted saying, “If he doesn’t get the nomination, I think it’s time for him to step off the stage.”
Behar, known for her support of Biden, reportedly found Clooney’s suggestion unsettling. She is convinced that Biden still possesses significant capabilities that are beneficial for the nation. A confidant of Behar shared, “She thinks George is wrong to suggest that Joe should step aside. Joy believes that Joe has the experience and the leadership skills necessary to lead the country, and she thinks he should stay in the race for as long as possible.”
The same source mentioned that Behar might bring up this issue on a forthcoming segment of “The View,” noting, “Joy is still deciding whether or not to address George’s comments on the show, but she’s definitely considering it. She wants to make it clear that she disagrees with him and that she still believes in Joe.”
Whether or not Behar will discuss Clooney’s remarks on the show remains uncertain, yet, her steadfast backing for Biden is apparent.
In related developments, Biden is currently seen leading in the Democratic primary polls, notably ahead of his nearest rival, Senator Bernie Sanders. Despite Clooney’s perspective, it appears unlikely that Biden will exit the race soon.
Biden has not yet made any public comment regarding Clooney’s statements. Nonetheless, his advocates, including Behar, remain loyal. As the Democratic primary progresses, the dynamics of the race and responses from Biden’s supporters to emerging challenges will be intriguing to observe.
