She needs a sign.
Oprah Winfrey has already shot down talk of running for president in 2020, but now sheâs revealing the one thing that could make her reconsider.
After the media mogulâs powerful speech at the Golden Globes in January, rumors swirled that she would run for office.
âI had people â wealthy, billionaires â calling me up and saying, âI can get you a billion dollars. I can run your campaign,ââ she said in a new interview with People magazine. âThat many people saying something made me think, âAm I at least supposed to look at the question?ââ
Oprah said she âwent into prayer.â
âłâGod, if you think Iâm supposed to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss it.â And I havenât gotten that,â she told the magazine.
As Oprah has already said, running for president is something sheâs just not interested in doing.
Even Oprahâs best friend, CBS co-host Gayle King, knows a 2020 campaign isnât the right move.
âGayle â who knows me as well as I know myself practically â has been calling me regularly and texting me things, like a woman in the airport saying, âWhenâs Oprah going to run?ââ Oprah revealed to InStyle. âSo Gayle sends me these things, and then sheâll go, âI know, I know, I know! It wouldnât be good for you â it would be good for everyone else.ââ
If Oprah did run, the âA Wrinkle In Timeâ actress already has experience with attention sheâd receive from President Donald Trump. Even the suggestion she might run sparked Trump hate tweets calling her âvery insecure.â 
As Oprah said on âEllenâ last week, the presidentâs unwanted attention didnât get to her.
âI woke up and I just thought,â Oprah said, raising her hands in the air. âAnd I donât like giving negativity power, so I just thought, what?â
