Fox host: Oprah is going to get Stacey Abrams elected

Fox News co-host Dagen McDowell said Thursday that Oprah Winfrey's campaign efforts for Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams are "going to get that woman elected," making Abrams the first black female governor in the country.
Winfrey, stumping for Abrams in Marietta, Ga., on Thursday cheered "everybody gets a vote!" as rally-goers chanted along with her. A clip of the exchange was played heavily across cable news on Thursday.
“A lot of celebrities can raise money for you if you are running for political office. Oprah Winfrey has a spiritual connection with so much of this country, and it was built over years and years of doing that talk show," McDowell said on Fox's "Outnumbered."
"I said, when we were watching it, 'If that women can get folks to eat pizza with a cauliflower crust on it, she is going to get that woman elected the first black female governor.’ She took people to church," McDowell added.
Juan Williams, serving as a guest co-host on "Outnumbered" Thursday, said Winfrey is key in reaching white suburban voters who will play a significant role in deciding the midterm elections.
