Oprah got tongues wagging about a potential run for POTUS after her speech at the 2018 Golden Globes while receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.
Her speech impart said, "So I want all the girls watching here and now to know that a new day is on the horizon! And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say, ‘Me too’ again. Thank you.”
