Oprah Winfrey is speaking out on her involvement in Kamala Harris' presidential campaign after reports she was paid $1 million to host a rally.

Better yet, rather than do such events, the Harris campaign would have been better advised to let its candidate answer questions from independent journalists and give her more of a chance to explain herself and lay out her plans for America’s future. Celebrity osmosis did not work; voters wanted to hear more about what Harris would do for them.
