Oprah Winfrey Backs Kamala Harris For Presidency at DNC

Oprah Winfrey, 70, has backed Kamala Harris who officially secured the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination.

Winfrey took the stage telling the crowd at Chicago’s United Center that Harris is passionate about “justice and freedom and the glorious, fighting spirit necessary to pursue that passion.

“And soon, and very soon, we’re going to be teaching our daughters and sons about how this child of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father — two idealistic immigrants — grew up to become the 47th president of the United States,” Winfrey said. “That is the best of America.”

In her remarks, Winfrey touched on the night’s theme of “freedom,” saying, “there are people who want you to see our country as a nation of us against them, people who want to scare you, who want to rule you.”
