Don Lemon’s recent excursion to Atlantic City could only be described as an epic miscalculation, revealing just how disconnected the mainstream media is from the realities on the ground. The former CNN anchor strutted onto the famous boardwalk expecting to gather glowing support for Kamala Harris. However, what he found instead was a hearty collection of voters singing the praises of Donald Trump. Talk about a plot twist!
The economic sentiment among voters was refreshingly candid. One individual even lamented how life was a financial paradise four years ago, suggesting that they’d hit the jackpot under Trump. This prompted Lemon to clang his economic bells about the current administration’s claims of a robust economy, but the locals didn’t have it. It’s quite clear that many voters have their fingers firmly on the pulse of economic reality. While Lemon and his media pals might still be dreaming about a post-Trump utopia, everyday Americans are feeling the pinch and recalling the good old days when their wallets were a bit thicker.
NEW: Don Lemon interviews people in Atlantic City, NJ and is shocked to find out most people are supporting Trump.
Multiple people mentioned how they felt more financially stable under Trump.
"Four years ago it was a lot better. I made a lot more money than I do now."

The irony is thick as Lemon attempts to tout Harris’ resume, only to be met with blank stares from voters. Nobody seems to be buying what he’s selling. It’s not just that the glow of the Democratic ticket doesn’t sway South Jersey; the heart of Atlantic City pulses proudly with Trump support, proving yet again that even in a blue state, the red roots run deep. For those who thought the Garden State had turned completely blue, a quick glance around Ocean City this month would indicate otherwise—with Trump 2024 flags popping up like daisies in springtime.
One can only chuckle at Lemon’s production team, which surely thought they were walking into a liberal oasis. Instead, they waltzed into the lion’s den, where the pride roars at Trump. Clearly, these producers need to brush up on their Jersey demographics. It appears they chose the wrong beach to set up shop if they expected smooth sailing in the sea of liberal support.
This misstep should serve as a reminder to the media: their bubble is uncomfortably tight. They might want to step outside their echo chamber and visit real America before scheduling their next segment. Until they do, they will continue to be surprised by the simple yet profound truth that what the residents of New Jersey truly want is a return to the policies that brought them prosperity, not the empty promises of the current administration.
