Could Oprah Winfrey have just made the first speech of her political career? Not at all, but we can dream.

That’s what many people have decided on Twitter anyway, and Winfrey’s longtime partner Stedman Graham played along with their hopes.

This has all stemmed from Winfrey’s extremely moving speech upon accepting the Cecil B. DeMille award at this year’s Golden Globes. And while she didn’t explicitly say that she would run for president in 2020, many people are still pretty keen for her to do so.

“It’s up to the people,” Winfrey’s longtime partner, Stedman Graham, apparently told the LA Times inside the ceremony. “She would absolutely do it.”

“I thought that speech was incredible. I got goosebumps,” Gayle King, Winfrey’s best pal, added.

However, Winfrey has already previously said she wouldn’t run a number of times, telling her King on CBS This Morning in October, “There will be no running for office of any kind for me.” When asked if she would run against Trump in the 2020 election, Winfrey told a Hollywood Reporter podcast, “I will never run for public office.”

Look, it’s highly unlikely, even if Stedman said so. But watching that speech again makes us day dream of a world where President Winfrey rules.
