Media: Actor Clooney supports Harris

US election campaign - Media: Actor Clooney supports Harris

Hollywood-Star George Clooney supports possible Vice President Kamala Harris after US-President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the Presidential race. "President Biden showed what true leadership means. He saved democracy once again," the actor wrote in a statement that was submitted to CNN and the "New York Times." "We are excited to support Vice President Harris in her historic mission."

The 63-year-old had urged Biden in a much-noticed piece in the "New York Times" in mid-July to withdraw from the race for the Presidency. Biden was too old and had not looked fit at a fundraiser in Hollywood a few weeks earlier. The harsh opinion piece by the actor, who also financially supports the Democrats, caused a great stir.

Biden announced his withdrawal from the US campaign on Sunday in a letter and suggested Harris as a replacement candidate. The 59-year-old has since received a lot of support from the Democratic Party and has already begun her campaign.
