Wednesday on CNN, during the handoff between evening hosts Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon, the two discussed what impact former President Barack Obama’s presence on the campaign trail might have on the election.
Lemon speculated that Obama, who had campaigned on behalf of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, his former vice president, earlier in the day, may aid Democrats with motivating black voters.
However, he was dismissive of black male voters, who have publicly expressed their support for incumbent President Donald Trump in recent days. According to Lemon, those Trump supporters had been “played” by the Trump campaign.
