- Talk show icon Oprah Winfrey held an event with Kamala Harris on Friday
- She filled the event in Michigan with a bunch of big stars supporting the VP
Donald Trump says Oprah Winfrey is no longer the person he knew in previous decades.
The iconic talk show host is supporting Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential bid and live-streamed an event with the vice president last week.
Trump said the person he saw talking to Harris on Friday “is not the real Oprah.”
Winfrey’s meeting with Harris was intended to capitalize on the support the vice president has enjoyed since entering the race after President Joe Biden ended his re-election bid on July 21.

Other celebrities, including Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez, joined the 90-minute event from Michigan, one of seven crucial states for victory in November’s election.
Trump has done a number of interviews with Winfrey over the years and noted this in his Truth Social post on Saturday, in which he went after the talk show host.
“A long time ago, Oprah Winfrey asked me to do her last Network Television Show. The last week of her show was a big event, and it was an honor for me, along with my family, to do it,” he wrote of the registered independent voters.
“When I saw her interview yesterday with a woman who is destroying America through her complete and utter incompetence, I couldn’t help but think that this is not the real Oprah,” he said, changing his tone to: “[T]He is not someone who wants millions of people from prisons and psychiatric institutions, and terrorists, drug dealers and human traffickers from all over the world, to flow into our country.’
Ahead of Thursday’s United for America event, Winfrey said she hopes Americans will be excited to vote this time around.

However, Trump claimed in his Truth Social rant that Harris is “mentally unfit” to be at the helm of the White House.
“Kamala looked absolutely ridiculous. She couldn’t answer the simplest questions about inflation, the cost of goods, or our very porous and dangerous border. There was no leader in sight and Oprah just wanted to crawl under a table!” Trump continued.
“Comrade Kamala Harris is not mentally fit to be President. She knows it, and everyone knows it!”
