Barbra Streisand expressed her support for Joe Biden, who unexpectedly withdrew from the presidential race.
She praised Biden's commitment to democracy and recognized his accomplishments as President.
The "Woman In Love" singer said, "Joe Biden will go down in history as a man who accomplished significant achievements in his four-year term."
She pleaded, "We should be grateful for his upholding of our democracy."
Many A-list actors, singers, and prominent figures in the entertainment industry have come forward to express their respect for Biden after he announced his decision to withdraw from the US presidential race.
However, most social media users reacted negatively to Streisand's declaration and plea.
@RED2024official said on X, formerly Twitter, "What fantasyland do you live in?"
@JonnyRoof asked, "what did he accomplish?" while @JohnWil18569368 responded, "She's a coward she won't respond because there's nothing to respond with."
@stephanegaddis also said, "You know he did a terrible job. You just defend the democrat party no matter what failures they are and that makes you evil."
Biden declared his intention to step aside from his party and national responsibilities to concentrate entirely on his presidential duties for the rest of his term.
The POTUS expressed his "full support and endorsement" for Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him as the Democratic presidential candidate, believing that this decision is in the country's best interest.
In June, a high-profile Hollywood event was organized to raise funds for Biden's campaign. The star-studded affair, featuring personalities like Streisand, successfully generated over $30 million in support of the presidential candidate.
The evening also featured a conversation between Biden and former President Barack Obama, moderated by Jimmy Kimmel. They explored the crucial importance of the upcoming election and its significant impact on the nation.
Meanwhile, other celebrities reacted to Biden's presidential race exit.
Cardi B wrote, "I TOLD YALL !!!!!!!!! Stop playing with me !!!!!! AHAHAHAHA LETS GOOOOO I TOLD YALLL KAMALA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE 2024 candidate.....STOP FCKIN PLAYIN WITH ME !!!!!!!"
Charli XCX, who just released her latest album, also wrote, "kamala IS brat"
John Legend shared his thoughts by saying, "Joe Biden has presided over the most consequential first term of my lifetime."
The "All of Me" singer further gushed, "He helped us to have the most robust recovery from the pandemic of any nation in the world, invested in our infrastructure and made by far the largest investment in fighting climate change our nation has ever seen. He relieved burden some college debt for so many. Unemployment, inflation and crime are all down dramatically from the highs caused by the pandemic."
