Don Lemon asking VCU students about 2024 election sparks online reaction

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was recently in Richmond interviewing six VCU students on campus about how they're voting in the presidential election.

Why it matters: It led to some people roasting their answers in the comments on TikTok, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).

What some students told him:

"This year is so confusing," a student on why he's not voting.
"Kamala Harris, I love her," a Harris voter.
"I noticed her campaign is very silly," a first-time voter who said VP Harris is "iffy."
"I try to stay away from mainstream media," a Trump voter who said he listens to Joe Rogan, Tim Pool and Steven Crowder's podcasts for news.
"I don't have time to do every point of research to make a decision that's good for me," a student who said he's not voting and is OK with whoever wins.
