Best of Don Lemon’s Surprising Man-on-the-Street Election Interviews

He’s been ripping and running across the country to understand exactly where American voters stand.

With officially only one week left in this election cycle, it can really go either way. There’s so much on the line for Americans, so journalist and show host, Don Lemon, took it upon himself to get some real answers about who everyone is voting for who. In his recent TikTok series, Lemon goes state to state interviewing American voters of all backgrounds. The best part of it all is you simply can’t predict what anyone will say… ever!
