In a recent street interview in Atlantic City, New Jersey, former CNN anchor Don Lemon encountered significant resistance from residents regarding the current state of the U.S. economy.
The segment, aimed at capturing public opinion, turned into a contentious affair as many locals voiced strong support for former President Donald Trump, contrasting sharply with Lemon’s views on the economy under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

The interview unfolded against the backdrop of Trump’s popularity in New Jersey, a state that recently saw over 80,000 attendees at a Trump rally earlier this year. Despite this evident support, Lemon, known for his critical stance against Trump, appeared taken aback by the local sentiment.
One man candidly expressed his dissatisfaction with the current economic situation, stating, “Four years ago, it was a lot better. I made a lot more money than I do now.” When Lemon attempted to counter this perspective with data supporting the Biden-Harris administration’s economic policies, the man dismissed Lemon’s statistics with a laugh, retorting, “I know nobody likes him, but we had good times with Donald Trump.”
