George Clooney says he would endorse three Democratic politicians in the 2028 U.S. presidential election, but he does not plan to run for president himself. The actor makes the comments while speaking at an event in Venice titled “The Future of Creativity,” according to the outlets that report on the remarks.
The reporting ties Clooney’s political comments to the lead-up to the 2028 election and presents his stated choices of prospective Democratic candidates. It also includes his explanation for why he says he will not seek the presidency. Across the two sources provided, the account is largely the same: both describe Clooney’s public comments in Venice, his focus on the 2028 race, and his decision not to run.
No additional reporting details are included in the provided excerpts on the specific candidates beyond that he names three Democrats, or on any particular policy positions associated with them. The two sources also differ mainly in phrasing and emphasis, with one describing the “real reason” he “will never” run while the other presents similar information without additional context in the excerpt.
