Former CNN host and current podcaster Don Lemon is considering running for U.S. president, citing high public interest in his potential candidacy. Despite leaving CNN in April 2023, Lemon remains active in media through his youtube show, where he discusses issues like race, policy, and criticizes Donald Trump. At age 60, he has also written books, including his recent 2024 publication, “I Once Was Lost: My Search for God in America.”<\/p>\n

In an interview, Lemon admitted he’s unsure if he’ll run but acknowledged that people keep encouraging him to consider a presidential bid. He expressed confidence in his potential as a leader and criticized current candidates, especially Trump, for lacking experience. Lemon highlighted his identity as a Black gay man and suggested it influences his politics, but critics argue that his reasons for running are weak, primarily based on public demand and opposition to Trump. while Lemon’s political ambitions are tentative and unlikely to succeed, his remarks reflect a desire to influence public discourse<\/a> and possibly challenge the current political landscape. <\/p>\n
