In an op-ed for the New York Times, Clooney argued that Biden's poor performance in a recent TV debate with Donald Trump highlights his inability to win.
Despite Biden's insistence on staying in the race, Clooney claims most Democratic leaders privately agree that a new candidate is needed.
Clooney suggested potential replacements like Vice President Kamala Harris and several state governors.
The White House, however, reaffirmed Biden's commitment to running for a full second term.
