Don Lemon Mulls Presidential Run, Cites Trump's Baggage

0:00On April 3rd, former CNN anchor Don Lemon dropped a bombshell on Podsave America last Sunday, March 29th. The 60-year-old said he's seriously thinking about running for president someday. He admitted it'd be tough, but he's open to the idea. Earlier this week, host Alex Wagner straight up asked if he'd ever go for office. Lemon didn't dodge. He figures any dirt from his past, wouldn't top what's out there on Donald Trump, and he's ready for that scrutiny. As a black man, Lemon knows the game plays different. He compared it to the double standards women face, like Hillary Clinton, Nikki Haley, or Kamala Harris. White guys, he says, skate by with way more baggage. Lemon's confident he could lead the country better than the 79-year-old Trump, or most folks in the mix. But here's the catch. No independent run for him. He'd have to join the Democrats first, and he's not there yet. That kind of bowl talk from a media vet keeps the political chatter buzzing, especially with elections heating up.
