President Trump Responds to Oprah Presidential Speculation
President Trump is breaking his silence over Oprah Winfrey's potential White House run. Daily Kos' Kelly Macias joins Cheddar to break down the president's comments and consider Oprah's next moves. The staff writer says she thinks the media mogul should not mount a run, and would be more helpful to Democrats on the sidelines.
We also speak to the Trump administration's order to send nearly 200,000 people from El Salvador out of the country.
