Biden Gets His First 2024 Primary Opponent As Marianne Williamson Confirms She Will Run Again

Award-winning author turned 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson plans to run for president again in 2024, she confirmed in an interview published on Thursday. Williamson is the first Democrat to toss her hat in the ring to challenge President Joe Biden, should he announce he is seeking reelection.

Williamson’s candidacy was first reported by Medill News Service. She told student journalist Brennan Leach, “I wouldn’t be running for president if I didn’t believe I could contribute to harnessing the collective sensibility that I feel is our greatest hope at this time.”

Williamson was best known as a spiritual leader who wrote the 1992 book A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles and several other subsequent best-sellers before becoming a political candidate. After years as a leader of multiple non-profits, Williamson ran unsuccessfully for Congress as an independent in 2014, then officially launched her first campaign for the Democratic nomination for president in 2019.
