It appears Oprah Winfrey will not be running for president in 2020, much to the chagrin of many.
CBS This Morning today aired a preview of Winfrey’s 60 Minutes Overtime segment where she discusses the reports that circulated after her widely praised Golden Globes speech in January that she might run.
Winfrey said it was not her intention to create the buzz with her remarks, and claims she was “stunned” by the reaction and insisted her speech was not politically motivated.
Winfrey, a 60 Minutes special contributor for the program’s 50th season, spoke with Silvio ahead of her next story for the 60 Minutes about America’s political divide, airing this Sunday. It’s a follow-up to her first story for the program (from last September), a round table of 14 Michigan voters, half of whom voted for Trump and half who did not. Winfrey brought the same 14 people around a table to talk politics again.
