But the Democratic Party presidential nominee will no doubt be given ample opportunity to explain her policies during a “Unite for America” virtual event on Thursday, when she will be interviewed by the “Queen of All Media.” The two-hour interview will be filmed at an undisclosed location in Michigan, according to the Harris campaign. No surprise about who Oprah is hoping will win the 2024 presidential election; she gave a speech endorsing Harris at the Democratic National Convention.
