George Clooney says replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris ‘was a mistake’

Actor says Harris was given a very tough task' because she had to run against her own record', and extends an olive branch to Hunter Biden

George Clooney has said he feels it was a mistake" for Kamala Harris to replace Joe Biden in the 2024 US presidential election, adding that he had no regrets about the New York Times opinion piece in which he called on the Democrats to find a new presidential nominee.

Speaking on CBS' Sunday Morning, the actor and activist, who is a prominent financial donor to the Democratic party, said he would write his op-ed again if given the chance, and that he wished the Democrats had held a new primary to elect a presidential candidate. Instead, Harris was nominated by a virtual vote of party delegates.
