Does everyone remember Don Lemon? He is the failed CNN host who somehow thinks he remains relevant today even though he has been reduced to nothing more than a podcast host.
Lemon has a severe case of ‘Main Character Syndrome’ and has been teasing for months now that he is going to run for president in 2028.
It’s unclear who he thinks is going to vote for him in this endeavor. Also, does he really think that the twenty or more Democrats who are also planning to run are just going to step aside and let him have the nomination?
Leaving all of these questions aside, the worst part for Lemon is that even his former colleagues at CNN are dunking on him over this.
FOX News reports:
Don Lemon’s presidential ambitions met with skepticism, amusement from his former CNN colleagues
Left-wing podcaster and former CNN host Don Lemon claims to be considering a run for president. Count his former colleagues as skeptical at best.
Lemon, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump who started his own show after being fired by CNN in 2023, recently said there is a “65, 70%” chance he’ll launch a White House bid. Lemon, who has no political experience, has said he would make a better president than Trump and talked up his appeal to voters.
A CNN staffer knocked Lemon’s apparent presidential ambitions.
“Doesn’t someone, according to Don Lemon, have to be in their ‘prime’ to run for president? That would certainly rule Don out,” they told Fox News Digital.
The staffer was referring to the infamous 2023 moment when Lemon found himself in hot water for suggesting then-Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was past her “prime” at age 51, enraging female colleagues and sparking public fury. Lemon, who is now 60 and almost six years older than Haley, later apologized for the comments.
“I love it. Bring it on,” another CNN staffer told Fox News Digital of Lemon’s possible bid…
“I think political office is probably appealing to him. I think a presidential run is obviously not serious, but he could engage in it as a way to launchpad into another office,” they continued. “If Don has the itch, there are ways to scratch it that are more serious. It takes a single-minded focus, and he can’t be a media personality and do it at the same time.”
Who does Don think he’s kidding?

He’d be out before the Iowa caucus.
