But We Need a New Nominee,” by George Clooney (Opinion guest essay, July 11):I was in attendance at the recent Los Angeles fund-raiser hosted by Mr. Clooney and Julia Roberts. It included a conversation featuring Jimmy Kimmel, President Biden and former President Barack Obama. Mr. Biden had just returned from the G7 conference, and I brushed off the obvious deterioration as travel-related. Mr. Biden spoke slowly and softly, with a noticeable slurring of words. Mr. Obama seemed to treat him more like an elderly man than an active candidate.

US actor George Clooney arrives for The Albies hosted by the Clooney Foundation at the New York Public Library in New York City on September 28, 2023. Hollywood superstar George Clooney said Wednesday that it was time for President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race, after Biden's disastrous debate performance and a fundraiser the actor and filmmaker co-hosted for Biden in June. "It's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe 'big F-ing deal' Biden of 2010," Clooney wrote in a New York Times op-ed. "He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. Biden's fumbling debate performance opposite former President Donald Trump was on June 27, nearly two weeks after the fundraiser in Los Angeles.
