Lo show di Oprah Winfrey
Not just the big names in music: for the first time a guest star at a Democratic convention, a TV star has surprisingly appeared Oprah Winfrey. “We choose the best of America,” was the motto that peppered her entertaining show against Trump. There was also a dig at Vice President JD Vance. “If a house is on fire, we don’t ask what race the owner is. And if the house belongs to a childless cat lady, we save the cat too,” referring to Vance’s words when in 2021 he criticized childless women as “unhappy cat ladies unfit to govern.” “Values and character matter,” Winfrey continued, sporting a purple Christian Siriano pantsuit, the color of swing states. “And more than anything else, decency and respect are at stake in the 2024 election. Soon we will teach our children how this girl, the daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, grew up to become the 47th president of the United States.”
The Nba star
Directly in Paris, fresh Olympic champion, the NBA star also appeared Stephen Curry with a video message in support of Kamala Harris, two days after her coach Steve Kerr. An endorsement that could be worth a lot of votes, given Curry’s fame, which goes beyond the United States.
