Oprah Winfrey Would Run For President Under One Condition

February 28, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

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?”
