Susan Sarandon Doesn’t Know Who She’ll Support for President, But Thinks Joe Biden Should Drop Out

As a longtime observer and supporter of Democratic politics, I have witnessed Susan Sarandon‘s evolving role within the party over the years. Her unwavering commitment to her beliefs, particularly those concerning social justice and human rights, has been both inspiring and controversial at times.


Actress Susan Sarandon, who has won an Academy Award, believes that President Joe Biden may not be able to secure another term in office against his predecessor, Donald Trump. She suggests that Biden should consider withdrawing from the Democratic Party’s nomination for reelection.

She answered with great excitement on Wednesday evening when asked about the president stepping down. It’s clear that many party members share her sentiment.

She expressed to EbMaster during the New York premier of “The Fabulous Four” on Thursday night that we haven’t fully understood the consequences of our decisions yet. (Summer comedy featuring Sarandon, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Megan Mullally and Bette Midler)

In my perspective, it’s clear that he ought to resign. This issue regarding his age was not the only factor; even before it became an issue, hundreds of thousands of undecided voters in crucial states were hesitant due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, posing a significant threat to his potential election.

Sarandon is among several prominent Democrats in Hollywood who have urged President Biden to resign. Notably, George Clooney wrote an opinion piece for The New York Times advocating for the president’s departure.

Similar to Clooney, Sarandon has long been an active supporter and figure in Democratic politics. To some extent, her political involvement has eclipsed her acting work in recent times.

In the political scene of 2016, Sarandon was among the first and most passionate advocates for Bernie Sanders. She actively promoted his candidacy across various platforms. However, when Sanders failed to secure the Democratic nomination, Sarandon shifted her allegiance towards Jill Stein of the Green Party instead of Hillary Clinton. This endorsement from Sarandon reportedly impacted Clinton negatively in some crucial swing states according to Clinton’s 2017 memoir.

In November 2023, Sarandon was no longer represented by United Talent Agency following her appearance at a pro-Palestinian rally in New York. During her speech, she expressed the view that anxious American Jews were experiencing what it’s like to be a Muslim in the US.

Sarandon continues to publicly support Palestinian causes, making a statement by wearing a pro-Palestinian badge at the red carpet event on Thursday night.

During the film’s opening night, she openly expressed her sympathy for the Palestinian issue in Gaza and criticized the Biden administration’s management of the conflict. This stance distanced her from the current Democratic party nominees.

She expressed to EbMaster that her primary concern isn’t the current race situation, but rather the fact that she’s financially backing a genocide, which is a significant matter for her. Sarandon mentioned that she hasn’t yet decided on a candidate to support in the 2024 presidential election.

As a devoted cinema enthusiast, I’d be thrilled to share that Susan Sarandon spoke about the movie she came to publicize with great enthusiasm. In her own words, she expressed her joy, “It’s always a pleasure for me to be involved in a delightful summer comedy. I truly enjoy every moment of it.”

She described the movie, helmed by Jocelyn Moorhouse, as one that highlights camaraderie, femininity, and redemption, while maintaining a lighthearted tone. “We enjoyed making it,” she added. “We didn’t anticipate it becoming a profound social statement. I’m also constantly seeking chances to collaborate with fellow women in the industry, as they seldom feature more than two of them in a single production.”

At the premiere on the red carpet, Ralph, a fellow actor from her show and a recent Emmy nominee, accompanied her and shared his unique perspective.

“Despite the complete disorder around us, this summer film surprises me with its soothing effect. It’s a must-watch, even if you weren’t aware of it.”

“Ralph remarked, reflecting on the current political climate, ‘If this were a plot in any political thriller, they’d say such events wouldn’t occur here. But we’re not them. It’s hard to believe.’ “
