Former CNN anchor and media personality Don Lemon says he has considered running for U.S. president and puts the likelihood at between 65% and 70%. In comments described by outlets, Lemon says he does not rule it out and frames the figures as his own assessment rather than a formal announcement.
Lemon’s remarks follow earlier public discussion in which he expressed confidence about the prospect of being able to serve as president. The reporting centers on speculation about whether Lemon could enter the 2028 presidential race, as he remains active as a freelance media pundit while emphasizing he is focused on current work. Across the coverage, outlets focus on his stated probabilities and his “never say never” stance, without reporting any specific campaign plans, party affiliation, or policy agenda.
