Oprah Winfrey won't run for president without a sign from God

'God, if you think I'm supposed to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss it'

Oprah Winfrey has ruled out a run for the US presidency in 2020, though there's one thing that could change her mind: a sign from God.

Following her inspirational speech at this year's Golden Globes ceremony, speculation was immediately sparked that linked the multibillion-dollar media mogul and actor with a run for the White House.

However, she told InStyle magazine that: "I’ve always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not. And so it’s not something that interests me. I don’t have the DNA for it... that’s not for me."

Yet, in an interview People magazine, Winfrey has now revealed the one thing that would make her reconsider.

"I pay attention, and when you have that many people saying something, I thought well gee, I never in my life, ever, ever, imagined that I would be in politics. I've always said no no no no no," she stated. "Am I at least supposed to look at that question?"

"Because I've had enough people - billionaires - calling me up and saying, 'I can get you a billion dollars. I can run your campaign' and I actually went into prayer about it. 'God, if you think I'm supposed to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss it'. And I haven't gotten that."
