Clooney says Harris replacing Biden was a 'mistake'

Actor George Clooney recently stated that having Kamala Harris replace Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee was a mistake, though he stands by his July op-ed calling for Biden to step down from the race. Clooney argued that Harris faced the difficult challenge of running against her own record as Biden's vice president while trying to distance herself from the administration. The actor had originally advocated for a competitive Democratic primary rather than an automatic succession, but Harris became the nominee without such a contest and subsequently lost to Donald Trump.
