Background Information: Oprah Winfrey was born on January 29, 1954. She is a talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. She is best known for her talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, which as reported by the Academy of Achievement in 2016, was the highest nationally rated television program of its history from 1986 to 2011.

Recency-With elections coming up for the presidency in the next two years and with Trump creating laws that are impacting the country in a negative way, many people are looking for new potential candidates to become the next President of the United States. (note -reflects what the specific issue is) b. Credibility - As someone who is invested in the immigration policies of this country it is important I support the right candidates for President. After hours of research on viable candidates I have come to the understand that the next president that will be elected in 2020 can either help to bring back the many freedoms that President Trump is taking away or continue to build on taking away more freedoms from Americans.
