Oprah Winfrey's Longtime Partner Stedman Graham Says She Would 'Absolutely' Run for President

Oprah Winfrey laughed when Seth Meyers used reverse psychology to encourage her to run for president in 2020 (with Tom Hanks on the ticket, no less!) during the 2018 Golden Globe Awards — but almost everyone, including longtime partner Stedman Graham, is in support of the idea.“It’s up to the people,” Graham told the Los Angeles Times. “She would absolutely do it.”Celebrities and social media users alike rallied behind the idea after Winfrey accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award at Sunday’s ceremony, an honorary award bestowed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. Her inspiring speech was filled with standing ovations, and it wasn’t hard to imagine the 63-year-old TV personality behind a presidential podium.“I thought that speech was incredible,” Winfrey’s pal Gayle King told the L.A. Times. “I got goosebumps.”Even Meryl Streep endorsed Winfrey on the ticket, telling the Washington Post, “She launched a rocket tonight. I want her to run for president. I don’t think she had any intention [of declaring]. But now she doesn’t have a choice.”
