Oprah Winfrey said if Donald Trump were to ask her to join his presidential ticket, she would say no because she is with Hillary Clinton.
On Thursday night, the 62-year-old actress and talk show host told Jimmy Kimmel that she won’t be running alongside the Republican presidential candidate when he asked her about Trump’s comments that he would like her as a running mate, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“I think he was just joking about that,” she said. “[I] have not gotten the call.”
What would she say if he did ask?
“I would say ‘Donald, I’m with her,'” she continued.
Trump floated Winfrey as his vice president in 1999 when he was flirting with running for president with the Reform Party.
Kimmel pressed her further and suggested that if she were to run against both Trump and Clinton she would win.
“I do not believe that,” she said. “Believe me … that’s the one thing I know for sure, sure, sure is I will never run for office.”
Oprah said that before this year she never felt qualified to run for office. “I’m feeling pretty qualified,” she joked. “After this year, I’m feeling really qualified.”
