George Clooney speculation US President

I have read that Kamala Harris is not all that popular and presumably the Democrats don’t consider her a good enough chance.

It was a dreadful insult to call President Zelensky by the name of his greatest enemy.

Which prospect is more scary.Biden or Trump for the position of “ the most powerful man in the world”?

Both are frightening, but if the Democrats want to win, they need to replace Biden ASAP.

Biden needs to go however the idea that anyone would listen to the advice of celebrity Democrats who have gaslit the public by saying for a long time that nothing is wrong is hilarious.

His worst gaffe to date. So insensitive!

If America gets George Clooney, can we have Hugh Grant please?

I read that Michelle Obama is being suggested as a substitute for Biden. That could work.

I bet Starmer is wishing he hadn't announced that Biden was mentally agile now.

Not insensitive if it was caused by some form of dementia.

People need to remember this.

I agree the US needs to find a way for Biden to step down.

They need to find a way that preserves POTUS Biden’s dignity, but quickly.

Starmer gave an appraisal of an hour's time spent with Biden and I thought he was tactful. I think Biden will step down. Clooney is a friend of Biden and a huge fund raiser for the Democrats so his view will matter, I think.

I don’t think Starmer could have said anything about Biden, given that he’s the President and may continue to be for years to come.He had to be diplomatic.These gaffes should be the final nail in the coffin for Biden.
Forget Clooney tho, the witterings of celebs should be ignored.

True Baggs, I'll rephrase it better. Insensitive then of his advisors and of his WIFE to allow him to continue making gaffes on the word stage.

* world not word stage .... though it could be both!! 😆

Yet another good actor attempting to influence politics.

Michelle Obama would be very good but I think she has more sense. She knows exactly what is involved. These days heading the USA would be a poisoned chalice if ever there was one. Maybe that is why they are paving the way for the dreaded Trump ?

Hear, hear.
This man has the red nuclear button within reach - it is terrifying to think of him pressing it by accident or in confusion.
What a choice the US has- max (Trump) or senile (Biden).
Michelle Obama has stated more than once that she is not interested- I wonder if anybody has put an ad up in the Washington Jobcentre?

Don't forget that there is precedence for an actor to become President (Ronald Reagan)

There was a very good discussion of this on NewsNight last night, Bonny Greer explained how he could step down sensitively and pointed out LBJ did it on live tv. Sorry but I think it is unkind to call it a gaffe and that Biden is insulting or insensitive, dementia is a very cruel illness. I think the insensitive label belongs to his wife and his close advisors who seem hell bent on covering up reality, how do they think he could cope for four more years?

Totally agree he should step down - he’s being a stubborn old man, putting himself before his country as he will certainly lose to Trump, and that’s a frightening prospect for the US and the world. . I can’t believe that his wife can’t see that and talk him out of standing, but she seems to be egging him on.

I suspect she enjoys the status and all that comes with it. She is not being kind.

How do you know that his wife hasn't urged him to step down. In my experience men can be very stubborn and insist the are perfectly fine.
She can't force him to hand over to someone else.
