In election news, Oprah Winfrey joined Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams on the campaign trail in Marietta, Georgia, on Thursday, days before the midterm elections in one of the country’s most talked-about races.
Oprah Winfrey: “I’m here today because of the men and because of the women who were lynched, who were humiliated, who were discriminated against, who were suppressed, who were repressed and oppressed for the right for the equality at the polls. And I want you to know that their blood has seeped into my DNA, and I refuse to let their sacrifices be in vain.”
Oprah also told crowds she is not hitting the campaign trail to “test the waters” for her own political run.
