According to The Post Millennial, Clooney feels unjustly held accountable for the election results, having been urged by former President Barack Obama to champion Harris as the Democratic candidate.
An insider allegedly revealed to RadarOnline.com, “George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pal.” Clooney had been a vocal proponent of President Joe Biden stepping down during the 2024 election cycle, expressing concerns about Biden's mental sharpness and the Democratic Party's chances of winning.
In a New York Times op-ed published during the summer, Clooney voiced his apprehensions, stating the left would not “win in November with this president.” A mere eleven days later, Biden declared he would not seek re-election, subsequently endorsing Harris as the party's nominee.
The insider reportedly disclosed to the outlet that Obama had persuaded Clooney to advocate for Biden's withdrawal, as Obama was apprehensive about the public perception if he openly urged his former vice president to bow out. However, following Harris' resounding defeat to President-Elect Donald Trump, a significant number of Democrats have directed their ire towards Clooney, leading the actor to feel unjustly singled out.

"Obama and Clooney have been tight for years, and George became Barack's surrogate in leading the charge for Joe to step away", the insider revealed. "Barack knew he would look like a traitor if he publicly called for Joe to be cut loose. And now, he's trying to walk away from it all.”

"George feels duped and vows he's not going to be anyone's political water boy anymore,” the insider added.
Clooney's political activism has been a significant force in Democratic politics. During the campaign, he hosted a fundraiser that amassed $28 million for Biden’s reelection campaign, setting a record for the party for the highest amount raised from a single event, as reported by CNN. However, Clooney now finds himself bracing for criticism from the left and ridicule from the right.
"George feels he stepped up and took a bullet for the team, and now everyone's complaining about the bloodbath,” the insider said, according to the outlet. "Lots of celebrities, like Beyoncé, were on the campaign trail pumping up Kamala, but George became the face of the Hollywood liberals by directly calling for Biden to end his campaign and throwing the whole process into chaos.”

“He thinks Obama should come forward and say that George did the right thing, and it isn't his fault that it didn't work out,” the insider continued. "But he doesn't expect that will be forthcoming, and it's left George feeling like a patsy." This situation underscores the precarious nature of political involvement for public figures, and the potential fallout when electoral outcomes do not align with their advocacy.
