Oprah Winfrey, a global icon and one of the most influential women of our time, is set to take the stage at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night. Sources have confirmed that Winfrey will lend her powerful voice to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ historic bid for the presidency. This marks another significant moment in Winfrey’s longstanding engagement with American politics.
Winfrey’s participation is expected to be a highlight of the evening, as she joins the lead-up to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s acceptance of the Democratic vice-presidential nomination. The DNC, already buzzing with energy, has attracted major names, including a surprise appearance by Lil Jon and upcoming performances by Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Maren Morris, and Pink.
In 2020, Winfrey was a staunch supporter of the Biden-Harris ticket, particularly celebrating Harris as the first woman and woman of color to become Vice President. Reflecting on the historic nature of Harris’ election, Winfrey shared with *People Magazine*, “There’s no way to measure what the election of Kamala Harris means for all women, all colors, everywhere.”
Winfrey’s influence in politics is well-documented, from her groundbreaking endorsement of Barack Obama in 2008 to her support for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Her involvement in the 2024 DNC underscores her continued commitment to shaping the future of American leadership.
