According to CNN Money this morning, Oprah is actively thinking about running for president in 2020 – says two of her confidants after last night’s speech:
Oprah Winfrey is “actively thinking” about running for president, two of her close friends told CNN Monday.
The two friends, who requested anonymity in order to speak freely, talked in the wake of Winfrey’s extraordinary speech at the Golden Globes Sunday night, which spurred chatter about a 2020 run.Some of Winfrey’s confidants have been privately urging her to run, the sources said.
One of the sources said these conversations date back several months. The person emphasized that Winfrey has not made up her mind about running.
A representative for Winfrey did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Just when you thought there is no way 2020 could top 2016... enter OPRAH.

2020 primaries. Oprah vs. The Rock. Cuban vs. Trump. Sponsored by Comcast, News Corp, Disney, and the rest of the media.
