Karine Jean-Pierre laments George Clooney's 'gut punch' to Joe Biden with NY Times essay
Fox News
Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre criticized George Clooney in her new book for his 2024 op-ed calling on former President Joe Biden to exit the 2024 race.
Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
Clooney wrote a guest essay for the Times in July 2024 that called on Biden to exit the race. It became one of several major moments in the pressure campaign urging him to step aside from what many Democrats viewed as an unwinnable contest with Biden atop the ticket.
"It was a gut punch. Clooney was an A-list Hollywood celebrity and a self-professed proud Democrat. His opinion was a huge deal and would draw tremendous attention from the media and the public alike," Jean-Pierre wrote.
