- Former CNN anchor Don Lemon stated he is 65% to 70% sure he will run for the White House, giving serious consideration to a presidential bid.
- Lemon first floated the idea during a July interview on the Can't Be Censored podcast, then appeared on the Uncloseted Media podcast earlier this week to discuss the proposal further.

- Lemon is debating whether the "best way" to help the American people is through journalism or by becoming president of the United States, acknowledging the "daunting undertaking" of full-time campaigning.
