Entrepreneur and US TV host Oprah Winfrey has refused to rule out a run for the White House.
She was asked on Bloomberg if she had ever thought, given her popularity, that she could run for president and be elected.
In reply to host David Rubenstein and seeming genuinely lost for words, Winfrey said: "I never considered the question even a possibility. I just thought 'Oh, Oh'".
When Rubenstein pointed out that the current president does not have previous political experience, Winfrey added: "I just thought I don’t have the experience, I don’t know enough – and now I’m thinking 'Oh, Oh'".
