The self-help author should provide only token primary opposition – a testament to how strongly national Democrats are united behind Biden
Self-help author Marianne Williamson, whose 2020 White House campaign featured more quirky calls for spiritual healing than actual voter support, launched another longshot bid for the presidency on Saturday, becoming the first Democrat to formally challenge President Joe Biden for the 2024 nomination.
Biden gave his own speech from Union Station just before last November’s elections, when he led Democrats to a surprisingly strong showing, urging voters to reject political extremism and saying “democracy itself” was at stake. Striking a defiant tone Saturday, Williamson denounced “those who feel they are the adults in the room” and aren’t taking her candidacy seriously, proclaiming, “Let me in there.”
Seated next to him, 24-year-old American University law student Ivan Claudio noted that, should he win a second term, Biden would be in his late 80s by the time he leaves office and “I think it is a cause for concern.” Williamson didn’t mention Biden by name in her speech, and though she noted that Trump not being re-elected in 2020 kept the country from going “over the cliff,” she also said it was still “six inches” from doing so.
“The American people have been trained to expect so little,” she said. “The American people have been played.”
