Oprah 2020, explained The case for and against President Oprah.



What began as a hashtag #Oprah2020 and a few jokes on Twitter has escalated to the full-blown theorizing of Oprah Winfrey’s chances of landing in the Oval Office. After Winfrey’s powerful speech at the 2018 Golden Globes on Sunday, even President Donald Trump weighed in on the prospect, and his daughter, Ivanka, tried to ride the Oprah wave. An idea that a couple of years ago would have seemed all but impossible now has plenty of political observers asking: Why not? Oprah certainly possesses a level of star power that rivals, even surpasses, Trump’s. She has wide name recognition and is well-liked, especially among coalitions important to Democrats women, African Americans. Some, however, are already begging Winfrey not to run. America shouldn’t be a place where celebrity is a prerequisite for politics, they say, and we don’t need another political novice in the White House. Responding to the buzz, President Trump on Tuesday said Winfrey’s hypothetical campaign would be “lots of fun.” “I did one of her last shows. ... I like Oprah. I don’t think she’s going to run,” he said. At least some in the political world seems to be taking the Oprah 2020 idea seriously showing just how much Trump’s election has rewritten the rules of celebrities in politics. Oprah proved in 2008 that she has plenty of political power; her Golden Globes speech has sparked debate about how she should use it.
Oprah delivered one heck of a speech

“I want all the girls watching here, now, to know that a new day is on the horizon!” Winfrey declared while accepting the Golden Globes’ Cecil B.DeMille Award for career achievement on Sunday. While there has long been mild speculation that she might harbour political aspirations, the nearly 10-minute speech brought those whispers to a roar. Oprah opened her address describing a scene of herself sitting on the linoleum floor of her mother’s house in Milwaukee as a child in 1964, watching Sidney Poitier become the first black man to win the Oscar for best actor.“I tried many, many times to explain what a moment like that means to a little girl, a kid watching from the cheap seats as my mom came through the door bone-tired from cleaning other people’s houses,” she said.
Poitier in 1982 received the same Cecil B.DeMille Award that Winfrey was given on Sunday.“It is not lost on me that at this moment, there are some little girls watching as I become the first black woman to be given the same award,” she said. Oprah, a talk show host, actress, producer, philanthropist, and all-around media heavyweight, spoke of her own career achievements but also placed herself in a historical context of race and class and the current context of gender and women’s rights. She recounted the story of civil rights hero Recy Taylor, who died just days before the awards show, and emphasized the pervasiveness of gender bias in Hollywood and all walks of life.“When that new day finally dawns, it will be because 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,” she closed. Soon after her speech, NBC fired off an eyebrow-raising tweet reading, “Nothing but respect for OUR future president.”Nothing but respect for OUR future president.
