Oprah for President? Celebs React to Her Possible Candidacy
One thing that everyone can agree on from the 2018 Golden Globes is that Oprah Winfrey without a doubt stole the show with the incredible speech she gave to accept the Cecil B. DeMille Award.
The 63-year-old media mogul and actress now has people all across the country hoping she will run for president in 2020, and many celebs are included in that group.
Lady Gaga is among the stars who have already said Oprah has their vote.
So, would Oprah actually run? Her longtime partner Stedman Graham actually says she would!
“It’s up to the people,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “She would absolutely do it.”
Find out what Oprah‘s BFF Gayle King thought of the speech as well!

If @Oprah ran for president in 2020, she is every person. She has been poor & now rich. She is also a self made Billionaire. She has a grasp of the issues as she used to cover local politics. She can articulate any issue and she has mass appeal beyond race & gender.

Run, @Oprah, run. Trump proved America will elect politically inexperienced billionaire TV superstars as President & you're massively more popular. https://t.co/ib3p8rgWEJ pic.twitter.com/ZhqzYI4QZc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 8, 2018
Dear Lord in heaven, please let this happen #Oprah2020

Um hi I passed out after the Oprah speech from the sheer glory of it and just came to. Is she the president now? JUST SAY YES I NEED THE ANSWER TO BE YES.

I cannot exaggerate how Trump has hurt this nation, its faith in its own goodness and values. I cannot exaggerate how frightening it is that he and his cohorts don't care about Russian interference. We need to hope that President Oprah will indeed inaugurate a Restoration.

What is the best part about Oprah running for president? She can announce it by telling everybody to look under their seats!#Oprah2020
