Democratic longshot and spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson announces she is BACK in the White House race after beating Dean Phillips in the Michigan primary and after 100,000 voted against Biden in protest

Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson “suspended” her campaign on Wednesday, 21 days after announcing she would withdraw from the 2024 race.

Williamson, a bestselling author and self-help guru, is one of only two major challengers to the presidency Joe Biden‘s ascent to the Democratic nomination.

Her rise to national prominence was spurred by Oprah Winfrey in the 1990s, as a frequent guest on her daytime talk show, and then again in 2020, when she first ran for the Democratic nomination.

Williamson posted a video to X on Wednesday morning explaining that she quit because she was “losing the horse race.” ‘BThere is something much more important than the horse race at stake here, and we must respond to that,” she said.

She argued in a letter to supporters that Biden was a “weak candidate” to take on the likely Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump, and labeled the former president a “fascist.”

Trump easily won the Michigan primary to rival Nikki Haley, while Biden lost 100,000 Democratic votes to “uncommitted” as Wolverine State voters protested his support for Israel in its war against Hamas.

Williamson’s name remained on the ballot and received 3 percent, a better performance than Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, who had received the endorsement of the Detroit News.

“We cannot stand idly by while DC’s political class sleepwalks this country into disaster,” she wrote to her supporters on Wednesday.

“I will respond to Donald Trump’s cult-like personality with a light vision of hope and possibility,” she continued. “We will once again become a ‘government of the people, by the people and for the people’ at a time when corporate interests have held Washington hostage,” she said.

Williamson initially dropped out of the race after underperforming in Nevada’s Democratic primary earlier this month.

In a video for supporters, she said: ‘I recently read a quote that said ‘sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too.’

“And so today, even though it is time to suspend my campaign for president, I want to see the beauty and I want all of you to support me incredibly on this journey, as donors, as supporters, as a team and as volunteers, to also see the beauty,” she said

‘We can get so much out of this. And that includes knowing that we captured it in a way that we should all be proud of,” Williamson added.

She also told her supporters in an email: “First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you don’t win :)…’

“While the extent of our failure is obvious to all, some degree of success is still real,” she continued. “And I’m not just glad we did that; I’m proud of it.’

ABC News first reported this Williamson’s decision to drop out of the race.

She had officially entered the race in March.

Williamson actively campaigned in New Hampshire — bypassing spending time in South Carolina, where Biden was dominant — and then placed her bets on Nevada.

However, the Silver State primary was immediately called for the incumbent president after the polls closed. She received just under 3,200 votes – or 2.9 percent – ​​while Biden dominated 89.3 percent.

In New Hampshire, she received about 5,000 votes, or 4 percent of the total.

In South Carolina, she received about 2,700 votes and 2.1 percent of the vote.
