LOS ANGELES — If California Sen. Dianne Feinstein leaves Congress before her term is over, she won't be replaced by Oprah Winfrey.
The media mogul's spokeswoman on Thursday threw cold water on the idea that Winfrey could make a foray into politics, saying she "is not considering the seat should it become vacant."
Winfrey, who has never held public office, has repeatedly turned down appeals to run for president. An endorsement from the talk show host moves markets, pushing millions of Americans to try new diets and turning books into bestsellers overnight.
