Hillary Clinton: Celebrities Endorsing the Democratic Nominee

Oprah Winfrey


Background:
Oprah Winfrey-- who endorsed Obama over Clinton during their 2008 primary-- publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton a few weeks ago.

"I really believe that is going to happen," Winfrey told Entertainment Tonight regarding Clinton's chances of becoming the first woman to win the presidency. "It's about time that we make that decision," she said. "What this says is, there is no ceiling, that ceiling just went boom, you know," Winfrey said. "It says anything is possible when you can be leader of the free world." Winfrey appeared at the White House this month for its United State of Women Summit with Michelle Obama. The First Lady spoke about gender equality, living in the White House, and how their family is approaching post-presidency life. A study published in the Journal of Law, Economics & Organization in 2013 discovered that Winfrey’s endorsement of Obama over Hillary Clinton in the 2008 gained him over a million votes. (Getty)
