‘Sweet promise of tomorrow’: Watch Oprah Winfrey’s speech at the 2024 DNC convention


 

Oprah Winfrey, the famed television host and superstar, delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday evening. She urged independent voters and those still undecided to pick a candidate who aligns with their values and to support Vice President Kamala Harris.

 

In her speech, she commended the efforts of Michelle Obama, who spoke the night before, and honored the memory of the late civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis. Winfrey also responded to JD Vance’s remarks regarding women without children. Many speculate that she could transition from celebrity to a political role, similar to former President Donald Trump.

“Let us choose the sweet promise of tomorrow over the bitter return to yesterday,” Winfrey expressed.

The convention is taking place from Monday to Thursday at the United Center in Chicago, showcasing an exciting array of speakers, including former President Bill Clinton, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, along with performances from artists like John Legend and Stevie Wonder.
