For all the respect, praise, and positions that he was offered, George Washington remained a very selfless person. Washington never paid attention to money, fame, and glory, and turned down command of the army and the presidency several times.

New York, N.Y. — For the first time since writing an op-ed piece in the New York Times titled, “I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee,” George Clooney has spoken out about the impact his article may have had.

At the Venice Film Festival, when a reporter asked him about the op-ed during a news conference for “Wolfs,” his new buddy comedy with Brad Pitt, he responded: “The person who should be applauded is the president who did the most selfless thing that anyone’s done since George Washington.”

Clooney’s public stance, as one of President Joe Biden’s biggest supporters and fundraisers in Hollywood, was seen as a major influence on the president leaving the race in July and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.

As we reflect on the leaders who have shaped our world, we recognize the power of selflessness in leadership. George Clooney’s recent comparison of President Joe Biden to George Washington underscores a profound truth: the greatness of a leader lies not only in their vision but in their selflessness.

Clooney sees Biden as a leader who, like Washington, places the nation above personal ambition, embodying the spirit of global leadership that connects goodness and uplifts humanity. This reflection reminds us of the importance of young global leaders who carry forward this legacy, ensuring a future guided by the values of selflessness and service.
