Oprah Winfrey who gave a golden speech some days ago that has since touched lives is said to be “intrigued” by the possibility of running for the U.S. presidency in 2020.
The billionaires’ confidante Gayle King, reportedly spoke on her behalf Tuesday on “CBS This Morning”.
He said the 63-year-old celebrity’s past position that she was not interested in running for president remained unchanged.
“I do think she’s intrigued by the idea, I do think that,” King said.
“I also know that after years of watching ‘The Oprah (Winfrey) Show’ you always have the right to change your mind. I don’t think at this point she’s actually considering it.”
CNN, citing two of her close friends, reported on Monday that the television and movie producer and actress was actively thinking about making a White House bid.
Reacting, Reuters quoted a White House spokesman as saying Republican President Donald Trump “would gladly face Winfrey”.
Oprah, one of United States’ wealthiest women, is long associated with Democratic politics and fundraising.
