BOTTOM STORY OF THE DAY: Don Lemon Teases Presidential Run.
Former CNN host Don Lemon once again teased a 2028 presidential run during an appearance last week at the Vanity Fair “Truth Tellers” summit in London.
“I’m a man of a certain age,” he said when asked about the possibility of running for president. “Why not?”
The moderator, journalist Kara Swisher, chuckled, according to Vanity Fair.
“You laugh,” Lemon replied. “I’m a self-made millionaire, from a country where my ancestors were enslaved, so I think that’s a pretty big accomplishment. … I made it to the top of my profession.”
Lemon left out that he was dismissed from that top position by CNN in 2023 over accusations he mistreated female co-workers and after making what was seen as a sexist comment that then-GOP candidate Nikki Haley was “past her prime.”
I’d laugh this off, but I can never tell when the Dem base of self-flagellating neurotic women will attach themselves to a candidate.
