Hollywood director, actor, and major Democratic Party donor Rob Reiner has joined a growing list of high-profile supporters urging President Biden to step aside following his recent debate performance. Reiner, known for films like 'When Harry Met Sally,' took to social media to express his concerns.
Reiner emphasized the importance of the upcoming election, stating, 'It’s time to stop f---ing around. If the Convicted Felon wins, we lose our Democracy.' He praised Biden for his service with honor, decency, and dignity but ultimately called for the president to step down.
As a long-time supporter and donor of the Democratic Party, Reiner's stance has garnered attention. He previously contrasted Biden as a 'decent law-abiding person' with former President Trump, whom he labeled a 'pathologically lying criminal.'
Reiner's call for Biden to withdraw comes on the heels of a fundraiser he hosted for Vice President Kamala Harris. The event took place in Los Angeles shortly after Biden's widely criticized debate performance, where he appeared confused and struggled to articulate his thoughts.
The debate has raised concerns among Democrats about Biden's ability to lead for another term and defeat Trump in the upcoming election. Media outlets and prominent Democrats have increasingly called for Biden to step aside, citing worries about his candidacy and reports of behind-the-scenes decline.
Despite mounting pressure, Biden has maintained his commitment to staying in the race, asserting that he is prepared to continue his campaign.
