On Wednesday, Ms. Winfrey addressed an enthusiastic assembly, saying, “Let us choose truth, let us choose honor, let us choose joy.” “Because that is America’s finest.”
On the third night of the four-day convention, Winfrey—who has shied away from the political limelight in recent years—gave Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Tim Walz, a little celebrity power.
Prior to Mr. Walz’s primetime speech in which he formally accepted the party’s vice presidential nominee, Winfrey made her remarks.
In addition to emphasizing a message of harmony, the former daytime talk show presenter subtly criticized it.
We are not that different from our neighbors, despite what some people would have you believe, Winfrey remarked. “We don’t inquire about the homeowner’s color or religion, their romantic partner, or their voting history when their home is on fire. No. We simply attempt to save them as best we can.”
“And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady, well, we try to get that cat out, too,” she continued, making a little gesture toward Mr. Vance.
