Don Lemon says there’s ‘65, 70′ percent chance he runs for president
Don Lemon said he is weighing a 2028 White House bid while considering whether journalism or politics is the better way to serve the public.
- Former CNN anchor Don Lemon stated he is 65% to 70% sure he will run for the White House, giving serious consideration to a presidential bid.
- Lemon first floated the idea during a July interview on the Can't Be Censored podcast, then appeared on the Uncloseted Media podcast earlier this week to discuss the proposal further.
- When host Spencer Macnaughton asked about his earlier comments, Lemon admitted the odds are 65 to 70 percent he will throw his hat in the ring, claiming he could be a "better president than Donald Trump."
- Although some assume he would run as a Democrat, Lemon insisted last month that he is an "independent," leaving his party affiliation unclear should he pursue office.
- Lemon is debating whether the "best way" to help the American people is through journalism or by becoming president of the United States, acknowledging the "daunting undertaking" of full-time campaigning.
