Don Lemon, no longer in the folds of the mainstream media, did a “man on the street” segment to ask New Jersey voters whether they support former President Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
Since New Jersey is a traditionally deep-blue state, Lemon likely figured his segment would see overwhelming support for Harris — but that turned out not to be the case.
Hey Jersey…Trump or Harris?

Despite Lemon trying to qualify Harris as a former prosecutor, a woman, and a vice president, voters saw through her lack of experience and the Biden administration’s policies as harmful to their bottom line.
“Four years ago, it was a lot better. I made a lot more money than I do now,” one voter told him.
But Lemon dismissed him and told him he was wrong.
“I know you feel that way, but that’s not actually what the record shows,” Lemon said. “The economy is actually better under Biden.”
The voter laughed in Lemon’s face and walked away. “Do you watch CNN?” he asked, unaware of the deep irony behind the question.
