Oprah Winfrey Would Run For President Under One Condition
In an interview with People, Oprah Winfrey said that there’s only one thing that could make her run for President of the United States: a sign from God. Here are highlights:
On the idea of running for President: “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.’ And I haven’t gotten that.”
On her speech at the Golden Globes: “When I walked off with Reese [Witherspoon], I thought, ‘I got that done.’ It wasn’t until I was back in the press room that they said, ‘Do you realize you’re trending?’”
On offers to pay for her campaign: “I had people—wealthy, billionaires—calling me up and saying, ‘I can get you a billion dollars. I can run your campaign.’ That many people saying something made me think, ‘Am I at least supposed to look at the question?’”
On making people happy: “Nothing makes me happier than to see other people in their purest moments of joy. Sometimes, honest to goodness, I’m just sitting around thinking, “What could I do to make somebody feel really good today?”
