Oprah Winfrey will join Democrat Barack Obama again on the campaign trail, this time visiting the early contest states of South Carolina, Iowa and New Hampshire, the candidate's campaign said Monday.
The popular talk show host and media mogul plans to visit Iowa on Saturday, Dec. 8, with stops in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. The following day, she'll travel to Columbia, S.C. Later that day, Obama's campaign said, she'll travel to Manchester, N.H.
The Columbia event is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. at The Colonial Center on Lincoln Street and is free and open to the public. However, tickets are required, though there is no reserved seating and seating will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis.
This isn't the first time Oprah has lent her star power to the Illinois senator.
In September, she rolled out the red carpet for Obama at a gala fundraiser in California that brought in about $3 million for his campaign.
Winfrey is a well-known fan of Obama, calling him "my favorite guy" and "my choice" on CNN's "Larry King Live" last year before he announced he would seek the presidency.
