‘I Couldn’t Say This On CNN’: Don Lemon Tells Dan Abrams What He Really Thinks About Trump and Biden
Ex-CNN host Don Lemon told SiriusXM host Dan Abrams he couldn’t say what he really thinks of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump while he was at CNN — but he opened up to Abrams.
Lemon is back in the news in a big way after his spectacular interview of Musk led to an even more spectacular rapid unscheduled disassembly (in Musk-ese) of their deal for launching Lemon’s show.
Lemon was a guest on Thursday’s edition of SiruisXM’s The Dan Abrams Show, during which he used his newfound freedom and revealed to Abrams his official endorsement for president:
I think given the choices of the people who are in the arena, I couldn’t say this when I was on CNN, but I think Joe Biden is the best choice because I believe even if he is an older person and his words don’t come out, and sometimes he has trouble recalling, he’s going to surround himself with the best people possible, with the best policies possible for the country, and moving into the future and whoever the next person is, will at least have a chance to govern under a full intact democracy in force.
And I think if Donald Trump got into office, I don’t think that we would have that. He has said as much. So I think that, you know, Joe Biden’s, you know, whether his decline or whatever you want to say, that doesn’t bother me at all because I think he has the right people in the right places.
And guess what? Look at the economy. Look at what’s happening in the country. We’re actually doing really well. We have the best economy in the world. And so, you know, I would say that if he was a Republican. He’s actually doing really, really well under, you know, even with the forces against him, even with the, you know, people who are the Republicans who just won’t – obstructionism.
Abrams followed up: “So Don Lemon, you are endorsing Joe Biden for president?”
Lemon replied: “If Joe Biden is running, listen, no one’s going to want an endorsement from me. But I think Joe Biden is the best choice that we have.”
