Van Jones, the CNN political commentator, said on Monday that if Oprah Winfrey became a presidential candidate in the 2020 elections she would “destroy anybody in front of her.”
This was said during Jones’s appearance on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” where Jones discussed the media giant’s chances for success if she were to pursue a run for the White House. He called Oprah “the most beloved human being on Earth.”

Oprah is a known longtime Democratic supporter, she previously backed the candidacies of the former President Barack Obama in 2008 and Hillary Clinton in 2016 as reported by The Hill.
