Will Marianne Williamson return to take on Biden in 2024? The author and self-help guru who became an unexpected star of the 2020 debates is headed to New Hampshire as she considers another run for the White House.
- Author and self-help guru Marianne Williamson is heading to the state of New Hampshire for the first primary as she contemplates another run for the White House.

- New Hampshire is ripe for an insurgent ticket because the state will likely lose its first primary in the nation with President Joe Biden’s blessing.
Author and self-help guru Marianne Williamson is heading to the state of New Hampshire for the first primary as she contemplates another run for the White House.
Williamson competed in the 2020 Democratic primary and created moments of viral debate, such as when he said his rivals’ “thoughtlessness” would not trump the “dark psychic force” of “collectivized hate” unleashed by former President Donald Trump.
“New Hampshire is a big state and I had a wonderful time there when I raced before.” Williamson told The Washington Post. “I felt a deep connection with my New Hampshire fans and will be back in a few weeks to connect with friends old and new.”
Williamson told the newspaper that he would not do any “public speaking,” but would instead use the time on the ground to talk to people before making an “informed decision.”
The author had previously put a statement showing a preview of his travels around the Granite State and also appeared on The Hill TV show Rising where he mocked a race, saying he would probably run as a Democrat and not as a third-party contender.
Author and self-help guru Marianne Williamson is heading to the state of New Hampshire for the first primary as she contemplates another run for the White House.
On Wednesday, he appeared on The Hill TV’s Rising and indicated that he would likely run as a Democrat if he decided to run for the White House in 2024.
‘If I run, clearly there are forces within the Democratic Party that will try to make me invisible. I think it would be easier to try to make myself invisible if I run a third party, ”he said Wednesday. “If I run and run as a Democrat, I’ll be more inconvenient to people who need to be bothered.”
President Joe Biden has made New Hampshire breeding ground for an insurgent by pushing the Democratic Party to reorder the primaries, giving South Carolina, where he returned in 2020, the top spot.
Traditionally, Iowa holds the first presidential caucus followed by the nation’s first primary in New Hampshire.
In 2020, however, the Iowa Democratic Party’s mobile tool for tallying caucus results flopped, and the winner of the race was unknown for hours.
The New Hampshire primary went off without major hiccups.
Still, with Biden’s blessing, New Hampshire’s primary would take place on the same day as Nevada’s, a week after South Carolina voters went to the polls.
That goes against a New Hampshire state law mandating the first primary.
Williamson withdrew in 2020 before the Iowa caucuses and later endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders after his victory in the Nevada caucuses.
Williamson is pictured endorsing Sanders in Austin, Texas on February 23 before Super Tuesday.
He then called it a “coup” that several moderate candidates dropped out and endorsed Biden, essentially killing Sanders’ chances of winning the 2020 Democratic primary.
New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley warned Democratic leaders in a letter that there could be trouble if Granite State loses the top spot, writing that it could “create a vacancy for an insurgent candidate, serious or not, who can grab media attention and capitalize on Granite Staters’ anger at being ignored by [Biden’s] Campaign.’
And Williamson already has issues with Biden, over how he won the 2020 Democratic primary.
Williamson called it a “coup” when moderate Democratic candidates Sen. Amy Klobuchar and now Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg dropped out and endorsed Biden ahead of Super Tuesday, essentially killing Bernie Sanders’ presidential hopes.
After dropping his own bid in the Iowa caucuses, Williamson endorsed Sanders after his landslide victory in the Nevada caucuses, the third presidential race.
But Sanders’ momentum stalled over Biden’s top spot in South Carolina with all moderates backing him before and just after Super Tuesday.
