‘It’s time to stop messing around’: Rob Reiner joins major donors calling for Joe Biden to resign

Joe Biden is touring Pennsylvania today in an effort to get his reelection campaign back on track, but here in Hollywood, the president just lost another major high-profile donor after his June 27 debate debacle.

Just over a week after hosting a fundraiser for Vice President Kamala Harris for incumbents, Rob Reiner called on President Biden to “step aside.”

In describing the 81-year-old president as a man who served the nation with “honor, decency and dignity,” the American President director joins Damon Lindelof, Netflix’s Reed Hastings and Abigail Disney in pleading with Biden over the past week to drop out of the race. Like the Watchmen showrunner and others, Reiner believes that saving American democracy from Donald Trump is more important than seeing the sometimes uncertain and disjointed Biden remain in his final bid for the White House.

It’s time to stop messing around.
