In January, after she gave a stirring, politically tinged speech at the Golden Globe Awards, Oprah Winfrey had to confront the fact that a lot of people suddenly wanted her to run for president. It was easy to see why the idea animated parts of the left. Oprah, like Donald Trump, is a billionaire entertainer who built an empire on her personal brand, someone whose celebrity and status as a political outsider might make her an intriguing foil for the president. Stoking the enthusiasm was the TV host’s longtime romantic partner, Stedman Graham, who told the Los Angeles Times the night of her speech that a presidential run is “up to the people. She would absolutely do it.”
