Hollywood star George Clooney on
Sunday said he was excited for the future and praised President
Joe Biden for stepping down as the Democratic presidential
candidate in favour of Kamala Harris, speaking at the Venice
Film Festival about the electoral campaign in the US.
Clooney, who penned an op-ed in The New York Times published on
July 10 saying he loved Biden but the Democratic Party needed
another nominee, said the US president had been selfless in
renouncing as leaving power is difficult.
"What should be remembered is the selfless act of someone who
did the hardest thing to do", he noted, adding the Times's
campaign to ask Biden to pull out of the race had a great
impact.
Clooney was in the lagoon city with Brad Pitt to present Wolfs
by Jon Watt, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival on
Sunday.
