Trump rattled off a list of prominent races Republicans won or are in line to win from Tuesday's midterms, including the Georgia governor's race where Winfrey campaigned for Democrat Stacey Abrams.

"We also had a slew of historic wins in the governor’s races… against very well-funded, talented and skilled Democratic candidates and people that worked very, very hard, respectfully, for those candidates, like Oprah Winfrey, who I like," Trump said before appearing to go off script.

"I don’t know if she likes me anymore, but that's OK. She used to. But she worked very hard in Georgia," he added.

Later in the press conference asked by a reporter why he "liked Oprah so much," Trump responded: "Why do I like Oprah? What kind of a question is that? I do like her.”

“I have a lot of respect for her," he added. "Unfortunately, she didn’t do the trick.”

Winfrey visited Georgia in the final week of the campaign to boosts Abrams in her campaign against Republican nominee Brian Kemp.

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Abrams trails by roughly 65,000 votes. She has yet to concede the race, however.

Winfrey has sparked buzz of a potential presidential campaign by wading into politics, though she has denied she is interested. While she has criticized Trump, the president has been reluctant to hit back.

She was one of several celebrities and prominent Democrats who hit the campaign trail for Abrams, who would be the state's first black governor. Actor Will Ferrell and rapper Common also knocked on doors in support of her candidacy.

Trump campaigned for Kemp in Georgia on Sunday, and brought former Georgia Bulldogs football coach Vince Dooley on stage to whip up the crowd.
