Democrat Marianne Williamson, a self-proclaimed “spiritual thought leader” who took a break from campaigning, is back in the presidential race after President Joe Biden’s weak showing in Michigan. .
“As of today, we are lifting the suspension of campaigning for the United States presidential election,” Williamson said at the beginning of a video posted to X. “We were stopping because we were about to lose the horse race, but there were more important things to do.” Horse racing is at stake here and we have to respond to it. A fascist is standing at the door. ”

She then declared that it is “delusional” for Democrats to hope that Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will defeat former President Donald Trump in the general election.
The announcement came hours after more than 100,000 people voted “irresponsible” in the Michigan Democratic primary against Biden on Tuesday night. This equates to 13.3 percent of the vote, according to the latest data provided by the government agency. new york times As of Wednesday morning show.Mr. Williamson suspended his campaign after the Nevada primary, but still won the vote. His approval rating was 3%, with Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) at 2.7% and Biden at 81%.
In the video, Mr. Williamson blasted Mr. Biden’s economic boasts, which he believes are paralyzing the majority of Americans.
What does President Biden have to offer? He says, “Let’s get the job done.” Well, I hope you understand that we’re talking about millions of voters who have to work two or three jobs to even survive. What is he saying beyond “the economy is doing very well”? are you kidding me For whom? Things are going well for 20 percent of us, and that’s something to celebrate, but those 20 percent are on an island surrounded by a vast ocean of economic despair. 39 percent of Americans report regularly skipping meals to pay rent. More than half of bankruptcies are due to medical debt, which affects one in four Americans. We now live in an era where the majority of people are experiencing economic insecurity, the majority of people are living paycheck to paycheck, the minimum wage is not increasing, and militarism is increasing.
Mr. Williamson then shared his vision for “Medicare for All,” “free tuition colleges and technical schools,” “guaranteed housing, guaranteed living wages,” and “guaranteed sick pay.” She also called for a “ceasefire now,” “reparations,” and policies that “curtail fossil fuel extraction.”
Williamson insists his vision is the formula to defeat Trump.
“Some people might say, ‘Oh, Mr. Williamson, you’re delusional,'” she said with a laugh. “I’ll tell you what’s delusional. Delusional is just closing your eyes, crossing your fingers, and just hoping that somehow Biden and Harris will be able to defeat that behemoth of a dark, dark vision.” That’s what I do,” she said.
