“CBS This Morning” host Gayle King on Tuesday said her pal Oprah Winfrey is “intrigued” by the idea of a presidential run in the wake of her Golden Globes speech on Sunday — but doesn’t think it will be enough to persuade Winfrey to run. King said “I absolutely don’t think that her position has changed. I was up talking to her late last night. I do think she is intrigued by the idea. I do think that. I also know that after years of watching the ‘Oprah Show,’ you always have the right to change your mind. I don’t think at this point she is actually considering it.” King also offered her explanation of what Winfrey’s longterm partner, Stedman Graham, meant when he told the press “It’s up to the people — she would absolutely do it.” King said that Graham thought the reporter asked, “Would she make a good president?” to which he responded, “Absolutely, she would.”
