Oprah Winfrey has once again shut down the prospect of a presidential bid. On Wednesday, during a conversation with Broadway star Lin-Manuel Miranda, she iterated that is not running for office. According to CNN, two friends close to her said she was "actively thinking" about running for president, and that some of her confidants were nudging her privately to make a run. She told Stephen Colbert in January 2017 that she would "never" run for political office.
