No, Oprah Is Not Running for President (Exclusive)
Oprah Winfrey insists she will not be running for president.
The former queen of daytime TV set off media firestorm Friday after tweeting a New York Post article that proclaimed her as “Democrats’ best hope” in 2020.
“She was just thanking the reporter, she is not running for office,” a publicist for Winfrey told TheWrap on Friday.
In his op-ed, Post columnist John Podhoretz praised Winfrey’s “60 Minutes” piece last Sunday and how she handled a heated debate between Michigan voters on both sides of aisle.
“Listening, asking, speaking without judgment, trying to find common ground — it was a superb performance by Oprah, and I use the word ‘performance’ advisedly,” Podhoretz wrote.
