Marianne Williamson suspends presidential campaign

Marianne Williamson announced Wednesday night she is ending her Democratic presidential campaign for president.

The 71-year-old author said in a video posted to social media that "it is time to suspend my campaign for the presidency."

"We did what we could to shed some light in some very darkened times. For that I will always be so grateful," Williamson said.

Her announcement came one day after she was soundly defeated by President Biden in the Nevada Democratic primary. 

Williamson, along with Rep. Dean Phillips, launched longshot bids to unseat Mr. Biden from his incumbent bid for the White House last year. Phillips remains in the race.
