Oprah Winfrey will lend her star power to Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams' quest to become the United States' first black woman governor by campaigning in the state on Thursday.
Abrams' campaign confirmed that the billionaire media mogul will appear with Abrams, who is vying to become the country's first black female governor. The Atlanta Voice and BuzzFeed News first reported Winfrey's plans.
Oprah will knock on doors, host two town halls - one in Marietta, and one in Decatur - and has formally endorsed Abrams.
The last time Oprah made such an endorsement was for Barack Obama when he was running for president in 2006.
Abrams told the Atlanta Voice: 'Oprah Winfrey has inspired so many of us though the years with her unparalleled ability to form real connections and strengthen the bonds of family and community.
I am honored to have Oprah join me for uplifting and honest conversations with voters about the clear choice before us in this election and the boundless potential of Georgians.'
Winfrey is part of a caravan of high-profile figures marking the final days of Abrams' tight race with Republican Brian Kemp.
Vice President Mike Pence has multiple stops scheduled with Kemp.
Former President Barack Obama will campaign Friday for Abrams, and President Donald Trump is slated to be in Georgia on Sunday.

She is largely responsible for foisting that miserable obama on the country. What a mess he made of things. That bunch of quislings that his administration gave jobs to will be the countries downfall.

ReplyDelete‘I’m a proud Georgian’: Stacey Abrams defends 1992 flag-burning protest"
In 1992 this racist burnt the Georgia flag on the state capital steps because it had the Confederate flag symbol in it.
No, Stacey, you are not a proud Georgian, you are a proud racist CRIMINAL!! A proud Georgian would have never broken the law and burnt their state's flag on the state capital steps.
You are a disgusting P.O.S. and now you want to become a Georgia Governor?? You should automatically be disqualified.
9:05pm, hell no she wouldn't, and furthermore this candidate is not worth the time to knock on doors for.
ReplyDeleteGoodness knows she could use the exercise, but her motive is racial, not weight loss. She is definitely a racist. No, she would not be doing this for a white candidate. Thanks to her, in part, is the reason we ended up with that POS Obama and Gayle King would be a housewife in the ghetto if not for her good buddy Oprah.
ReplyDeleteOprah is purely a racist she could care less if that woman is qualified or not. Just that she's black.
ReplyDeleteOprah Winfrey is a fraud. She played the victim card since her days in Baltimore news reporting. Supposedly a victim of abuse, a black female, cried her way to being a billionaire, all in the name of affirmative action and ratings
ReplyDeleteAnd I bet they only go to certain neighborhoods. It would be great if we see in the news they were robbed and beaten. She even lies to her people just like the democrats have always done.
