NEW YORK (CBSMiami/AP) — Oprah Winfrey is rethinking whether she could be elected to the White House after President Donald Trump's victory.
Winfrey, a Hillary Clinton supporter, spoke with financier David Rubenstein in December for an interview for his Bloomberg Television show, which premiered this week.
Winfrey says before Trump's election she thought that she didn't have the necessary government experience to run the country but now she thinks differently. The billionaire businessman had never before held public office before his election victory in November.
Winfrey also touched on her 25 years hosting a syndicated talk show. She says her ultimate purpose of the show was to let people know that "we really are more alike than we are different."
Winfrey who is also a producer, actress and philanthropist, is set to become a special contributor to 60 Minutes. She is set to make her first appearance on CBS News' legendary Sunday night broadcast this fall.
