Sources: Oprah Winfrey 'actively thinking' about running for
president
Updated 3:57 PM EST January 8, 2018New York
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.
A representative for Winfrey has not responded to requests for comment.
The Democratic race for president won't officially begin until after the
2018 midterms, but many potential candidates are already jostling for
position and making trips to Iowa.
"President Winfrey" was the talk of the entertainment world after
Winfrey accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes. And the &#
34;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. But
insiders have their doubts too: Would Americans really choose a TV star as
president twice in a row?
For now, it's all just talk. But her fans demonstrated a lot of wishful
thinking on Twitter and Facebook after her speech.
Winfrey has deflected questions about a presidential run in the past, but
she has also acknowledged that President Trump's election upended
assumptions about how to pursue political office.
After the speech, Winfrey's longtime partner Stedman Graham was quoted
saying a run is a possibility.
"It's up to the people," Graham told a Los Angeles Times
reporter. "She would absolutely do it."
Winfrey campaigned for Barack Obama in 2008 and endorsed Hillary Clinton in
2016. During Clinton's campaign, she discussed the prospect of a female
president and said "America, it's about time that we made that
decision."
She said it would be a "seminal moment for women." But the moment
has yet to happen — which is one of the reasons Sunday's speech stirred
so much attention.
Winfrey has deep pockets, an even deeper well of charisma, and instant name
recognition, thanks to decades on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Reese Witherspoon alluded to her friend's superstar status while
introducing her at the Globes: "There's only one person whose name
is a verb, an adjective, and a feeling. And that is Oprah."
What she lacks is political experience.
In an interview with Winfrey on Bloomberg last March, interviewer David
Rubenstein broached the possibility, saying "It's clear you don'
t need government experience to be elected president of the United States.&#
34;
She indicated that the same thought had crossed her mind after Trump's
election: "I thought, 'Oh gee, I don't have the experience, I
don't know enough.' And now I'm thinking, 'Oh. Oh!'"
Winfrey laughed while the studio audience applauded.
For political advice, she could call the Obamas. Winfrey vacationed with the
couple in Tahiti last spring.
When interviewed, Winfrey sometimes stokes 2020 speculation, but other times
she shoots down the idea. When her best friend Gayle King brought up the
idea on "CBS This Morning" last October, Winfrey dismissed it: "
There will be no running for office of any kind for me."
Right now Winfrey has multiple jobs. She's the CEO of the cable channel
OWN, a "special correspondent" for the CBS newsmagazine "60
Minutes" and an investor in companies like Weight Watchers.
Her role at CBS News would conflict with any serious exploration of a
presidential run. A CBS News spokeswoman declined to comment on Monday.
Winfrey recently sold part of her stake in OWN but renewed her contract to
remain CEO through 2025. It would be relatively easy to step aside from OWN
for a presidential campaign.
The political back-and-forth has already begun. On Sunday night Winfrey'
s detractors immediately began circulating an old photo of Winfrey with
Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul who has become the symbol of
Hollywood rot.
But her fans portrayed her as the perfect anti-Trump candidate — that is,
if she's willing to run. Videos and transcripts of the speech were
widely shared on social media on Monday morning.
The Washington Post quoted Meryl Streep saying that Winfrey "launched a
rocket" with the speech.
"I want her to run for president," Streep told The Post. "I don&
#39;t think she had any intention [of declaring]. But now she doesn't
have a choice."
Earlier in the evening, Globes host Seth Meyers actually teed up the
speculation.
"Oprah," Meyers said, looking out at her in the audience, "in
2011, I told some jokes about our current president at the White House
Correspondents Dinner — jokes about how he was unqualified to be president
— and some have said that night convinced him to run. So if that's true
, I just want to say: Oprah, you will never be president! You do not have
what it takes!"
The laughs and cheers from the crowd made it clear: Winfrey would have a lot
of supporters in the entertainment industry.
"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" even tweeted out a mock
campaign poster on Monday morning. The title: "HOPE-RAH."
From "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to her films and book club selections,
Winfrey has promoted inspiration and unity. In fact, that's been the
focus of her occasional "60 Minutes" segments.
Her first story was a focus group with both Trump and Clinton voters.
Winfrey asked them: "By the time of the next presidential election, are
we more likely to have come together? Will we have sought common ground?"
