Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. She sent out a clear message to presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump: "I'm with her".
Winfrey expressed her thoughts on Trump presidential candidacy while talking to the host of TV show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", reports people.com.
Trump has expressed interest in the past of having Winfrey as his running mate.
Asked by Kimmel whether Trump had contacted her, the 62-year-old TV icon said she had "not gotten the call".
"I would say, 'Donald, I'm with her,'" Winfrey said, referencing the campaign slogan for presumptive Democratic nominee Clinton and drawing applause from the crowd.
The show is aired in India on Star World and Star World HD. The episode will air on Friday.
Winfrey had also voiced her support for Clinton in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying she "really believes" the US will elect its first female president.
