For Black voters who don't want to vote or who focused on one party, Oprah explains the value of the vote while campaigning for Stacy Abrahms who could become the first Black woman governor in the U.S. and from the South
Oprah Winfrey motivated Georgia voters at a rally for Stacey Abrams to come out in numbers for the mid-term elections "too big to tamper with." In the sermon-like speech, she said she reached out to Abrahms because she admired how she handles herself as voter disenfranchisement issues and accusations hurled at the candidate that largely blocked would-be Black voters and admired how she handled herself.
At this stage in elections big names folk come out for a last push for the party they support. Oprah got in touch with Abrahms on her own and paid to be there. The media mogul is a registered independent who thinks you should vote for the person whose values are the same as yours and admitted she has voted both for Democrats and Republicans. At the polls, she said, "We are all equal in power."
Winfrey believes Abrahms is in sync with Georgia voters. She made it clear to the press that she was not testing waters for a future political run, shouting plainly, "I don't want to run." She said, "I'm here today because of Stacy Abrahms and those who suffered "for he right for the equality at the polls and I want you to know their blood has seeped into my DNA and I refuse to let there sacrifices to be in vain." SHe brought the message around to two chiding points saying if anyone has ancestors who were denied the right to vote doesn't vote is dishonoring, disrespecting and disregarding the suffering of the legacy of their family.
