Fans Want Oprah Winfrey To Run For President After Golden Globes Speech

January 8, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

As we reported last night, Oprah Winfrey gave a speech at the Golden Globes talking about gender inequality, racism and more. She had been accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the time and was the first black woman to get the honor. Now, people on social media think that she should run for President in 2020.

At one point she said: “I want all the girls watching to know a new day is on the horizon. And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure they are the leaders to take us to the time where nobody has to say ‘me too’ again.

You can see the social media reaction below:

When The Los Angeles Times told Winfrey about the Internet’s reaction, she said that she was “just glad I got through the speech!.” She later told Bloomberg that she doesn’t have plans to run. Her longtime partner Stedman Graham, however, said that she “would absolutely do it.”

Would you vote for Oprah Winfrey in 2020?
