Self-help author Marianne Williamson launches another long-shot bid for the presidency, becoming the first Democrat to formally challenge President Joe Biden for the 2024 nomination.
abc.net.au/news/marianne-williamson-2024-presidential-nomination-primary/102021950Self-help author Marianne Williamson, whose 2020 White House campaign featured more quirky calls for spiritual healing than actual voter support, has launched another long-shot bid for the presidency, becoming the first Democrat to formally challenge President Joe Biden for the 2024 nomination.
Still, she tweaked the president, a longtime Amtrak rider, by holding her opening rally at the presidential suite at Union Station, Washington's railway hub. Ms Williamson has been telegraphing her intention to challenge Mr Biden for some time now, telling a student news outlet that asked the question last month during a phone interview that "if we were on FaceTime, you'd see me wink".
Ms Williamson ran for president in 2020, and initially polled high enough to be included in the first round of Democratic primary debates midway through 2019.
