During an interview on the Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, Winfrey spoke about running for office, and put to rest rumors that it’s a possibility.

“I will never run for public office,” Winfrey said. “That’s a pretty definitive thing.”

Winfrey was asked if she thought she could beat Donald Trump if he went for a second term, and she was even more adamant about not running.

“I don’t know. I don’t know the answer to that,” she said. “But I will never have to know the answer to that because I will never run for public office.”

In 2015, Trump actually thought his winning ticket would involve Winfrey, but she shut that down quickly when she noted that she was a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter.

I guess we’re stuck with the Rock in 2020?
