Witte Huis: 'Let Oprah get there'

- The White House looks confidently at President Oprah Winfrey's presidential candidate. The press secretary calls her 'a challenge'.

Perschef Hogan Gidley told reporters who boarded the Air Force One: 'We look forward to every challenge, whether it's Oprah Winfrey or anyone else. 'Gidley responded to the passionate call on social media 'Oprah For President', after her impressive speech at the Golden Globes, where she won the Cecil B. De Mille Award; a prize for her entire oeuvre.

Although Oprah said earlier 'to feel nothing for the presidency,' her partner Stedham Graham says 'she will definitely go for it, if you are interested in her.' Since Hillary Clinton lost the Donald Trump election in 2016, the Democrats are faced with the lack of a real leader. After the Golden Globes, many in Oprah see the perfect candidate to take on Donald Trump in 2020.

Oprah's best friend Gayle King certainly sees it all: 'That sounds only, President Winfrey? The only thing that still has to happen is to persuade Oprah to stand as a candidate. But it's about the people, the people. They must decide. Oprah has always said 'no' in principle, but if you see a president in her... yes, then it could just happen. This speech has changed a lot. '
