Joe Biden The 2024 presidential election withdrawal has sent shockwaves across the country… and Hollywood was no exception — with stars sharing their thoughts on social media.
Several famous names have posted their reactions to JB’s resignation this morning – and while some have thanked the president for his service, others are criticising his announcement and calling for him to step down.
Barbra Streisand came out quickly after the news… thanking Biden for his significant achievements in his one term as president — while Cardi B exulted about how she described this event weeks ago.
Kathy Griffin, Hamill Brand, Billy Eichner It is Rob Reiner — the latter of which called for Biden to back down earlier this month — all tweeted messages of support for the Democratic Party, with some paying tribute to Biden.
In a statement to TMZ, Robert de Niro says, in an act of patriotism, “Joe Biden is stepping aside to make way for another Democrat to become president because there is nothing more important to our country than defeating Donald Trump at the polls. With respect, admiration and affection, thank you, Mr. President!”
Other celebrities are expressing their displeasure… including the conservative commentator Piers Morgan — which is echoing Republican demands that Biden resigns the presidency if he is unable to run again.
Founder of Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy said he thinks it’s all a conspiracy… adding that there’s no way Kamala Harris — Who Biden endorsed — would be the nominee in a wide-open primary field, and special interest groups control her just as Biden does.
This just makes it easier for them to cheat again to make themselves happy. Even the craziest Democrat wouldn’t look away with Biden getting 80 million votes again. https://t.co/EfryQ6Tw3W

Roseanne Barr, Russell Brand It is James Madeiras It’s just some of Hollywood’s most conservative elites who are putting the president on notice, by the way.
You have to imagine most of H’wood is happy with the news… given the number of stars who have called for him to step down since then. George Clooneyfrom the New York Times opinion article came out earlier this month.
Either way… it’s a whole new presidential race — and Hollywood is certainly focused on the November election.
