Hollywood Heavyweights Call on President Biden to Step Aside

The fallout from President Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week has reached Hollywood, with several prominent figures calling for him to step aside. Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, and IAC chairman Barry Diller are among those who have expressed their disappointment in the White House and campaign officials for allegedly keeping Biden’s age issues a secret.

The Democratic party has long relied on Hollywood for support during election season, but now that alliance is being tested. Some Hollywood donors have even vowed to withhold funds until Biden is replaced at the top of the ticket.

The comments from these Hollywood heavyweights are not only damaging to the Biden campaign but also to the party as a whole. Abigail Disney, a longtime Democratic supporter, has stated that she will stop contributing to the party until Biden is replaced.

The frustration extends to Jeffrey Katzenberg, co-chair of Biden’s reelection campaign, who donors feel deceived them by not disclosing the seriousness of Biden’s aging issues. Katzenberg himself has donated millions to the campaign.

Biden has relied heavily on the support of Hollywood throughout his campaign, raising millions at star-studded fundraisers with celebrities like Barack Obama, George Clooney, and Julia Roberts. Hollywood’s support for Democrats has been significant in recent years, with large fundraising events and benefits playing a key role.

The fallout from Biden’s debate performance has not only shaken Hollywood’s support for the President but also raised questions about the future of the Democratic party’s relationship with the entertainment industry.
