Is Oprah Running for President?


Oprah Winfrey’s Golden Globes speech reignited speculation she was planning to run against President Trump in the 2020 Presidential election.

“President Winfrey” was the talk of the entertainment world after Winfrey accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes. And the “Oprah for president?” possibility was a top story on morning TV.

The touchstone of her speech was the #MeToo movement. But her hopeful message — “A new day is on the horizon” — could have doubled as a campaign rallying cry.

Many liberal-leaning celebrities and viewers certainly heard it that way. And that may have been exactly what Winfrey wanted.

As some political strategists have pointed out in the past year, her fame and wealth could make her a formidable Democratic Party candidate

Talk of an Oprah Winfrey 2020 presidential run is not just fan talk on Twitter. Two of her alleged confidants spoke with CNN confirming this is indeed something the talk show host is contemplating. Although never something she would have considered previously, now that the political field has changed, she might be willing to step-up and be the “heroine” of the Democratic party.

Oprah Winfrey is “actively thinking” about running for president, two of her close friends told CNN Monday.

The two friends, who requested anonymity in order to speak freely, talked in the wake of Winfrey’s extraordinary speech at the Golden Globes Sunday night, which spurred chatter about a 2020 run.

Some of Winfrey’s confidants have been privately urging her to run, the sources said.

One of the sources said these conversations date back several months. The person emphasized that Winfrey has not made up her mind about running.

Oprah Winfrey’s spokespeople have yet to release a statement yet on these rumors. But is that not in and of itself telling?

Just would be best to not be a white person in Oprah Winfrey’s “America”. We all know how she wants to deal with so-called “racists”.
