“I will never run for public office. That’s a pretty definitive thing,” Winfrey said during the Awards Chatter podcast for Hollywood Reporter.

Asked whether she thought she could pull off a victory over President Donald Trump if he sought a second term, Winfrey said it didn’t matter.

“I don’t know. I don’t (have) the answer to that. But I will never have to know the answer to that, because I will never run for public office,” she said.
