KABUL: As the United States presidential election approaches, senior Democratic party donors are asking Joe Biden for abdication from the race.
George Clooney, the famous Bollywood actor and a prominent Democratic supporter, has voiced this request in a message published in the New York Times.
Clooney stated that he believes in Biden’s accomplishments as a senator, vice president, and during his presidency, but feels that Biden cannot compete with the current times.
Criticism of Biden and calls for his withdrawal have intensified from Democrats, following his weak performance in the recent debate against Donald Trump.
The current US president admitted to his weaknesses a few days after the debate when speaking to reporters but also emphasized remaining in the race.
The US presidential election is due to be held on 5th November of the current year.
