One of Oprah Winfrey’s favorite quotes was made my her friend and mentor, Maya Angelou.
Oprah Winfrey has shown us multiple times who she is when it comes to for running for public office:
"I will never run for public office."
Oprah Winfrey —The Hollywood Reporter June 2017
"It's not gonna happen. That is just not gonna happen, because that would not be my strength," she insisted. "My strength is bringing people together and my strength is connecting people to ideas. My strength is allowing people to see the best of themselves even in the worst of times and circumstances."
Further denying that she would hit the campaign trail, Winfrey added, "That is not my thing. That would not be what I would be able to do well."
Oprah Winfrey — Entertainment Tonight October 2017
"There will be no running of office of any kind for me."
Oprah Winfrey — CBS This Morning October 2017
Oprah’s intentions, remind me of Elizabeth Warren’s, who said in the midst of intense speculation about a presidential run for her:
‘I’m not running and I’m not going to run’
Elizabeth Warren — NBC Today March 2015
I think is absolutely clear from all of her public statements about running for office, that Oprah Winfrey absolutely intends to run for President and we cannot start too early describing all the reasons she should and should not be allowed to run for President.
