Oprah Winfrey had the political chattering classes buzzing over Bloomberg Television interviewer David Rubenstein’s recent query on whether she would consider running for president.
“I thought, ‘I don’t have the experience, I don’t know enough,'” Winfrey said in the interview taped Dec. 12. “Now I’m thinking, ‘Oh, oh.'”
Winfrey’s answer implied that if former reality TV star Donald Trump won the presidency without any government or political experience, why not the “Queen of All Media”?
But Gayle King, co-anchor of “CBS This Morning” and Winfrey’s best friend, poured cold water on the chances of another super-celebrity presidential bid in 2020.
