Don Lemon bursts Jen Psaki’s bubble when he says many people don’t know who Kamala Harris is

For all the positive press and social media buzz over Vice President Kamala Harris, one would be excused for thinking everyone in America is talking about the Democrat presidential nominee. According to Don Lemon, however, that does not seem to be the case.

Lemon joined ‘Inside with Jen Psaki’ to discuss his recent interviews with people around the country and after visiting several battleground states, had some surprising news to report.

“What did they think about Harris? Did they have anything to say about her?” Psaki inquired.

“It depends on where you are,” the ex-CNN host explained. “We went to a number of battleground states, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, on our way to Illinois on our way to Chicago. It depended on where you were. Pennsylvania, I shouldn’t say Pennsylvania, but Philadelphia was a bit more liberal in the answers to questions about her and [former President Donald Trump] were quite different. For the most part in Pittsburgh or at the Jersey Shore and Atlantic City, in Ohio especially, many people didn’t know who she was. They were not familiar with her. So I think she has to reintroduce herself to the public.”

But the story for former President Donald Trump is much different.

“For him, I think they thought he’s better for the economy. That he brought money into the community or that he was on black people’s side. And so listen, I wasn’t surprised by that, I’ve been doing this long enough to know you never know where people are going to fall, how they’re going to vote, that’s their own personal prerogative,” he said, going on to imply that the pro-Trump voters he talked to were falling for fake news. “But I think it’s important for them to understand and go into the voting booth with some knowledge, that they’re informed as an electorate. And for all the reasons they’re telling me, the information was all false, and they didn’t understand the correct reasons they might vote for him.”

X users weighed in on the segment:

African Americans seem to be insulted (and rightfully so) that Kamala thinks all she needs to do to get their vote is pretend to be like them. Not today!

Trump is speaking to the American people, Kamala is speaking to leftist elitists

He’s lyin’ everyone knows who she is. WORST @VP in History and only wants power and fame while removing your freedoms.

The public doesn’t “know who she was” because she’s on a 100% radio silence ban on speaking to the public about her policies.
