CHICAGO — Talk show legend Oprah Winfrey appeared at the DNC on Wednesday night.
It was previously revealed that Winfrey would make a convention appearance, but it wasn’t clear what she would be doing, or whether she would endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Good evening everybody!” Winfrey shouted in tones she once used to open her talk show, and proceeded with a speech to a crowd in her hometown Chicago.
“What we’re going to do is elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States,” she said.
Winfrey delivered a famous endorsement to then-Sen. Barack Obama, her fellow Chicagoan, during his 2008 presidential campaign.
“Who says you can’t go home again?” she said Wednesday night.
Winfrey, a registered independent, made a direct appeal to unaffiliated and undecided voters to back Harris, saying, “Decency and respect are on the ballot in 2024.”
“Character and values matter most of all," she added.
Winfrey closed with a resounding shout of “Let us choose Kamala Harris!”
