Winfrey sparked just that kind of speculation on Thursday after she thanked New York Post columnist John Podhoretz for an article he wrote titled ''Deocrats' best hope for 2020: Oprah.''
“Thanks for your VOTE of confidence!” Winfrey wrote on Twitter.
Despite the endorsement, Winfrey is not planning to run for office. “She was just thanking the reporter, she is not running for office,” a representative told The Wrap.
