Ben Affleck’s older brother, Casey, was seen looking scruffy as he left Stephen J. Cloobeck’s Election Night Watch party at Papillon Estates on Tuesday night.
The Oscar winner, 49, who previously characterized Donald Trump as ‘a dangerous fool’ during the 2016 presidential campaign, looked a bit exhausted as he exited the political event solo before news broke of who won the 2024 presidential election.
For the occasion, the Gone Baby Gone star, who is dating Caylee Cowan, wore a dark navy jacket over a crewneck sweatshirt, light-wash jeans and boots.
He was among a number of celebrities at the Election Night Watch Party, where Cloobeck announced his run for California Governor 2026.
In addition to Casey, Zac Efron Tom Arnold and Jeff Ross were all in attendance.

Earlier in the day, Cloobeck announced his candidacy for Governor of California.
Back in 2016, Casey called Trump supporters a ‘few loudmouth idiots.’
‘I think most people look at him and can tell he’s a dangerous fool,’ Casey said as he inaccurately predicted that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 presidential election over Trump.
While accepting the best actor award for Manchester by the Sea at the Independent Spirit Awards in 2017, Casey slammed Trump and his policies.
‘The policies of this administration are abhorrent, and they won’t last,’ he said. ‘You don’t have to clap out of obligation… They’re really un-American.’
On Tuesday, Trump regained the White House after being declared the winner of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
He becomes the first president in over 130 years – and only the second in history – to win a non-consecutive second term.
His defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris marks a remarkable return for a twice-impeached president, who left office in 2021 on the back of claims that he had incited an assault on the U.S. Capitol building, and who was convicted earlier this year on multiple counts of business fraud.

The 78-year-old Trump will also become the oldest president ever inaugurated, beating President Joe Biden’s record by five months.
He pulled off his remarkable victory on a night reminiscent of 2016, sweeping the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Associated Press called Wisconsin at 5.34am (ET) on Wednesday and the race just three minutes later.
