Following recent electoral defeats, the Democratic Party seems eager to distance itself from President Biden. However, at the Broadway revival of Othello, Biden received a warm reception from stars Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, who praised his presence and service. Washington expressed heartfelt gratitude, emphasizing the honor of the occasion. Meanwhile, contrasting criticisms arise from figures like George Clooney, who previously supported Biden but later urged him to withdraw from the 2024 race due to concerns about his age and performance, indicating apprehension within political ranks.
"It's an honor for us just to have you here and to do our best for you tonight of all nights," Washington told Biden.
Clooney made headlines last summer by penning a New York Times op-ed that called on the 82-year-old president to drop out of the race, citing his age and disastrous debate performance.
