On night three of the DNC in Chicago, Oprah Winfrey takes the stage to endorse Kamala Harris, slam JD Vance for his “childless cat ladies” comment, discuss the stakes of 2024 election.
Talk show legend Oprah Winfrey will appear at the DNC on Wednesday night, according to a person familiar with the schedule who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal plans.
Winfrey delivered a famous endorsement to then-Sen. Barack Obama during his 2008 presidential campaign. It’s not yet clear whether she will endorse Harris, who is vying to become the first Black woman elected president.
She also endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016, and endorsed Sen. John Fetterman over Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race.
Winfrey was not included in the official DNC list of speakers released Wednesday, but became world-famous while hosting her iconic talk show in Chicago.
Following the conclusion of her show in May 2011, she has participated in a wide variety of philanthropic and business ventures, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Obama in 2013.
