Former CNN host and independent journalist Don Lemon claimed in a new interview that he’s “serious” about possibly running for president in the 2028 election — and insisted he’d be a “really good” commander-in-chief.
Lemon made the eyebrow-raising declaration on “Can’t Be Censored” podcast hosted by Karman Wong and Travis Dhanraj, insisting that everyone wants to know if he has White House aspirations.
“Do you have political ambition? Is that true?” Dhanraj asked on Wednesday’s show.
“No, but people keep asking me if I’m running for president,” Lemon answered.
“And I don’t know. I might. I’m serious. I don’t know. I might, because people keep asking me to do it, or if I’m going to do it.”
Lemon, 60, argued that experience isn’t necessarily a requirement to be commander-in-chief, citing President Trump’s lack of a political background before his election win in 2016.
Lemon went on to bash Trump, claiming the president “could have done a better job if he actually listened to people, but he doesn’t and he thinks he knows everything.”
“But, um, I actually think I would be a really good president of the United States,” he continued.

I’m sure by “people,” he meant his “husband.” Or would it be his “wife?”
He had to wait for this interview to respond, his mouth was full previously.
people keep asking me to do it
That request was in the moment Donny, not running for pres.
What scares me is young people are this stupid. Think about that.
Considerably so And without missing the magic negro puff did get steal lected not once but twice followed shortly by the award winning vote title holder brandons beat DJT at any cost, 20 some million thin air votes.
Somebody pinch me when all this illegality is punished and as importantly fixed,
I know I’m not the only one asking him to STFU and go away. Why doesn’t he do that?
Sorry Don but we’ve already had a black fudge packer in the WH. It didn’t go well.
Irrelevant individual attempting to be relevant in some manner. No one cares what he thinks, says, or does.
Hey,
If Bernie can get rich and purchase a second and third mansion by running for president., why can’t this delusional fool lemon do so?
Buying votes with reach-arounds.
And Petey Butt for VP!
(He should be done lactating by now..)
Won’t THAT be fun to watch!
What a liar. What people are asking about him running? His aunt Esther? His boyfriend?
PLEASE DO IT
PLEASE
PLEASE
“And Petey Butt for VP!
(He should be done lactating by now...”
.
I suggest Jesse Smoulett for VP.
No one has asked him to run for president.
He will be the butt of all jokes if he runs.
Yep, running the largest and most successful organization in the world doesn't take any experience? Don Lemon's an even bigger fool than most in ''his community'/
Don...would maybe finally get to see himself in the mirror if he ran a campaign. Let’s encourage him to do this.
A Real Lemon for President
He'd be the whiniest candidate ever.
