Oprah finally admitted what she needs to convince her to run for president and liberals aren’t going to like it. It turns out the media queen is waiting for a sign from God before committing to run.
Liberals have been agitating themselves over the idea of a possible Oprah-candidacy for months. Oprah 2020 gear is already popular online. However, Oprah herself has been coy about her intentions, one day hinting that she might run and another insisting that she never would.
“I pay attention, and when you have that many people saying something, I thought gee, I never in my life, ever, ever, thought I would be in politics. I’ve always said no no no no no,” she told People magazine.
“Am I at least supposed to look at that question? I had enough people, billionaires calling me, saying I can get you a billion dollars, I can run your campaign… And I went into prayer. God, if you think I’m supposed to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss it.”
So far, she admitted, God hasn’t sent the requested sign.
Oprah refuses to shut the door completely on her chances. She admits that best friend and fellow media star Gayle King has been urging her to run.
“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?’” Oprah said.
“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 was just like ‘Oh Gayle, forget it.’”
Is she going to run? Isn’t she? Who knows, Oprah is probably going to milk the tension for as long she can.
