CELEBRITY Oprah Winfrey

Talk show host, actress, and icon, Oprah Winfrey was rumored to be a possible candidate for the 2020 presidential election. After her powerful speech at this year's Golden Globes, the internet was exploding with #OprahforPresident and #Oprah2020. However, as a recent guest of 'The Van Jones Show,' Winfrey explained that while she herself will not be in the running for the White House, she had some sage advice for whoever is.

"I will say to whoever is going to run for office, do not give your energy to the other side. Do not spend all your time talking about your opponents. Do not give your energy to that which you really don't believe in. Do not spend an ounce of your time on that. Don't spend your time on that," Winfrey said. 

Though she does not explicitly name names, Winfrey is eluding to the tactics used on both sides of the 2016 election. Despite the fact that we won't be seeing any Oprah campaigns in the next couple of years, the star appreciated being thought of for the role. "The noise about running for president moved me so humbly and deeply. It means that you have somewhere in the work gained the people's trust. And there is nothing more important to me than having the trust of the people," she said. 

Though she won't be America's next fearless leader, perhaps Oprah is open to being a campaign manager? Fingers crossed.
