Normally I would not speak about Hollywood types but Clooney has been a major democrat fundraiser for democrat presidential candidates.  He just held a huge even a few weeks for him.  Here is what he said:

"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, referring to a star-studded event in Los Angeles that president attended last month before the debate. "He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate."
