Jeffrey Katzenberg Pays Tribute to “Selfless” Joe Biden: “For the President, It was Never About Himself”

Jeffrey Katzenberg Pays Tribute to “Selfless” Joe Biden: “For the President, It was Never About Himself”

As a long-time gamer and follower of politics, I have witnessed the unfolding events surrounding Joe Biden’s decision to end his re-election campaign with great interest. Having read Jeffrey Katzenberg‘s heartfelt op-ed in The New York Times, I couldn’t help but be moved by the depth of their friendship and mutual respect.


In his initial remarks following President Joe Biden’s unexpected announcement to abandon his re-election bid, media tycoon Jeffrey Katzenberg praised Biden for his “unselfish” actions.

In a recent op-ed piece published in the New York Times following Biden’s Oval Office address on his decision to resign, DreamWorks and Quibi co-founder Katzenberg expressed heartfelt admiration for the president. Having known Biden for four decades, Katzenberg shared, “I’ve witnessed his true character firsthand.” He continued, “Biden has faced more personal heartbreak than most with the loss of his wife, daughter, and son. Yet, he has managed to turn these devastating experiences into a remarkable strength.”

Katzenberg, who was co-chair for the Biden-Harris campaign, added the easy and human thing would have been for Biden to carry on his campaign despite the rampant speculation about his mental acuity and the criticism about his age.

According to Katzenberg, the president didn’t prioritize himself but focused on what benefited the nation. The sole objective was preventing Donald Trump from returning to the White House. When this goal seemed at risk, the president acted unselfishly and relinquished control last Sunday.

Katzenberg expressed bittersweet emotions over Biden’s decision to abandon his re-election bid, but he believed it was characteristic of Biden to remain hopeful for the future and support Kamala Harris. Regarding Harris, Katzenberg stated, “I’ve known her for 20 years and have had the privilege of watching her impressive achievements as a prosecutor, attorney general, senator, and now vice president. She has been put through the tests and is prepared for the challenges ahead.”

As a gamer, I’ve noticed a lot of chatter in the gaming community about the recent turn of events in Hollywood. With Biden’s disappointing performance during his first presidential debate, there has been increasing criticism towards Katzenberg. This criticism grew to such an extent that some even suggested the president might consider stepping down. Before Biden made his decision to quit the race, The Hollywood Reporter revealed last week that several big-time Democratic donors in Tinseltown were displeased with Katzenberg for keeping them in the loop about Biden’s health concerns.
