Oprah Winfrey, a prominent figure known for her power, success, and influence, is scheduled to take part in the Democratic National Convention program tonight in support of Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. Winfrey will be involved in the segment leading up to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's acceptance of the Democratic vice presidential nomination, as confirmed by sources familiar with tonight's program.
The DNC has been attracting significant attention in Chicago, with recent appearances by artists like Lil Jon and upcoming performances by Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Maren Morris, and Pink to conclude the eventful week.
In the 2020 election, Winfrey endorsed President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing the historic significance of Harris becoming the first woman and woman of color to hold the VP position. Winfrey expressed her sentiments to People Magazine in 2020, stating, 'There's no way to measure what the election of Kamala Harris means for all women, all colors, everywhere.'
Winfrey has a history of involvement in politics, notably endorsing former President Barack Obama in 2008, which garnered global attention. While she supported Hillary Clinton in 2016, Winfrey maintained a relatively low profile during that campaign.
