Oprah Winfrey said she was not considering running for president in 2020.

"There will be no running for office of any kind for me," Winfrey said Wednesday on "CBS This Morning."

"CBS This Morning" cohost Gayle King introduced the question of whether Winfrey would run by asking Winfrey about her possible running mate.

"2020. I'm wondering if you've narrowed down your list of VP candidates," King said.

"She's lost her mind now. No, I haven't," Winfrey responded.

In September, Winfrey sparked speculation that she might run for president in a shout-out to a columnist for writing that she would be "Democrats' best hope in 2020."
