Concerns about Joe Biden's condition before US election

Michael Douglas - Concerns about Joe Biden's condition before US election

Michael Douglas (79) is "concerned" about the condition of US President Joe Biden (81). After Hollywood star George Clooney (63) called for Biden to step down before the fall election in a guest article for the "New York Times", Douglas also expressed his views on "The View" talk show.

In an interview on the US broadcaster ABC, the moderators, including Whoopi Goldberg (68), asked Michael Douglas about Clooney's intervention. The "Wall Street" star did not want to take a clear stance like his colleague. He considered Clooney's statement a "valid argument". He himself is "very, very concerned" about the situation.

Clooney had pointed out Biden's advanced age and the associated lack of mental fitness in his guest article. "We won't win the election in November with this President," Clooney concluded.

Michael Douglas sees "a lot of talent" in the Democratic Party

The question of whether Joe Biden should be replaced by another candidate is described by Douglas as "difficult". The Oscar winner sees "a lot of strong minds... a lot of talent" on the "broad bench" of the Democrats. This view is not particularly widespread in public. Many observers believe that the Democrats are relying on Biden as a candidate due to the lack of alternatives.

Like Clooney in his article, Michael Douglas also ponders whether Biden can withstand another four years in office due to his advanced age. "I don't necessarily make worries to myself today or tomorrow, but in a year I will worry. I am concerned," he said.

1. Michael Douglas, expressing his concerns about Joe Biden's health, agreed with George Clooney's viewpoint expressed in a guest article for the New York Times, where Clooney suggested Biden's advanced age and potential lack of mental fitness could impact the US Election.
2. During a talk show appearance on ABC, Michael Douglas was asked about George Clooney's intervention, and while he didn't fully agree with Clooney's call for Biden to step down, Douglas considered Clooney's argument valid and shared concerns about Biden's condition as the US-President.
3. In the US-Presidency election, George Clooney argued in his New York Times guest article that Biden's aged state could potentially hinder the Democrats' chances of winning in November, concluding that the party might not triumph with this President in office.
4. With the Democratic Party boasting a "broad bench" of strong minds and talent, according to Michael Douglas, the question of whether Biden should continue as the party's candidate or be replaced is a complex one for many, as doubts about Biden's capacity to withstand another four years in the White House persist, even among supporters like Douglas.
