Oprah Winfrey has said running to be president of the United States would “kill” her.
There have been calls for the US chat show star to consider a move into the political arena since her inspiring speech at the Golden Globes earlier this year.
But she told Vogue magazine she had ruled out a run for office.

Asked if she was sure that she would not run, Winfrey said: “Yes.
“In that political structure – all the non-truths, the bullshit, the crap, the nastiness, the backhanded backroom stuff that goes on – I feel like I could not exist.
“I would not be able to do it.”
