Sen. Joe Manchin says George Clooney pulling support for President Biden‘s reelection bid is a huge deal … and he’s strongly suggesting Clooney could trigger a change.
The Senator from West Virginia was on the Hill Thursday, when a photog asked about George’s damning Biden op-ed in The New York Times … something he says is critical, because of the source.
Manchin, a Democrat, called George’s letter “very telling” and “very serious.”
The Senator says Clooney is a very trusted friend of many Democratic members of Congress, and they think a lot of him … so it sounds like his opinion carries weight.

As you know, Clooney says Biden is not the man he used to be even a couple years ago, joining a mounting chorus calling for POTUS to step aside for a different candidate to run against Donald Trump.

Non-celeb Biden donors, like Whitney Tilson, also tell us the cash flow to Biden’s reelection bid is slowing — not because they don’t like Biden, but because they don’t think he can win in November.
So far, Biden has refused to cave in … and he does have some notable supporters out there, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and, at least publicly, most Dems in Congress.

Check out the video … Manchin indicates change could be coming at the top of the ticket though, possibly very soon.
