Marianne Williamson Throws Her Hat Back In The Ring After Biden Debate Disaster
HuffPost
The self-help author says she’s officially reentering the race following President Joe Biden’s debate performance.
Marianne Williamson, who ran for president in 2020 and suspended her 2024 campaign in February, has officially reentered the race. In a video Tuesday, she announced that she’s seeking to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.
“President Biden deserves our respect, our compassion and our gratitude,” said Williamson in the video. “But the debate on Thursday night made it very clear that the Democrats need a new nominee on the ballot... We need to recalibrate, and we need to do so quickly.”
She added, “We need to have the conversation over the next two months that we should have been having over the last year and a half. A serious dialogue about what’s happening in this country and what it will take to beat Donald Trump. Today, I throw my hat in the ring.”
The self-help author argued voters are “desperate for change” in leadership and that the Democratic Party won’t defeat Trump “by repackaging the status quo,” which “has failed the majority of the American people,” but “by being honest about what’s really happening.”
She noted it’s “imperative” that a nomination “not be guided by media and party elites” who she claimed are “engineering” the result. Her comments follow a dire performance from Biden at last week’s presidential debate and reported scrambling by insiders for a replacement.
