Remember Oprah Winfrey’s empowering speech at the Golden Globes? It was so inspiring that you said you said to yourself that she should run for president in 2020? Then you wondered if she would?
InStyle wondered too, so they asked her. Here is what she told them:
I actually saw a mug the other day … I thought it was a cute mug. All you need is a mug and some campaign literature and a T-shirt. I’ve always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not. And so it’s not something that interests me. I don’t have the DNA for it. Gayle—who knows me as well as I know myself practically—has been calling me regularly and texting me things, like a woman in the airport saying, “When’s Oprah going to run?” So Gayle sends me these things, and then she’ll go, “I know, I know, I know! It wouldn’t be good for you—it would be good for everyone else.” I met with someone the other day who said that they would help me with a campaign. That’s not for me.
How disappointed are you that we will not be saying President Oprah Winfrey in 3 years? I am so sad, I am going to have order something from Oprah’s Favorite Things list to make me feel better.
