Harris has secured enough support from Democratic delegates to become the party's official nominee for president.

Earlier in July, Clooney wrote an op-Ed for The New York Times, urging Biden to step down for the good of the country.

"We are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won't win the House, and we're going to lose the Senate."

"He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate," Clooney added in his op-ed.

The essay received mixed reactions, including criticism from Biden supporters and some Trump supporters, including Donald Trump himself.

He is not the only celebrity who has voiced support for Harris.

Singer Demi Lovato shared a photo of herself with Harris, while actress Jamie Lee Curtis praised Harris as a trusted and tested advocate for women's rights and people of color.

Singer John Legend expressed his excitement to support Harris in any way he can. "Harris is ready for this fight and I'm excited to help her in any way I can," the singer wrote on Threads.
