Oprah Winfrey is making her voice heard.
Ahead of the midterm elections, Winfrey hosted "A Virtual Voting Conversation" on Nov. 3, where she and community leaders discussed the importance of voting during the critical election.
During the candid conversation, Winfrey stressed having a plan and casting one's ballot, as well as the issues that are at stake.
If we do not show up to vote, if we do not get fired up in this moment, the people who will be in power will begin making decisions for us, she said. Decisions about how we care for our bodies, how we care for our kids, what books your children can read, who gets protected by the police and who gets targeted.
And right now, you have a say in these things we do, she added.
During the tail end of her conversation, Winfrey announced her support of Democrat John Fetterman, who is running for Senate against Republican Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania.

Way too late and a million-dollar short. She should have been in Pennsylvania making speeches against him. All she gives a damn about is money
