Oprah Winfrey officially announced her endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president on Entertainment Tonight Wednesday, and she couldn't say enough about how big Clinton's candidacy is for women. "Regardless of your politics, it's a seminal moment for women," Winfrey said of Clinton becoming the first woman poised to win a major party's nomination and, possibly, the presidency. "What this says is, there is no ceiling, that ceiling just went boom! It says anything is possible when you can be leader of the free world."
Winfrey is convinced that another "seminal moment" is going to happen in November, too. "I really believe that is going to happen," Winfrey said of Clinton winning the general election. "It's about time we make that decision."
