Marianne Williamson on Thursday gave the strongest indication yet that she will run for president in 2024.
The move could make him the first Democrat to challenge President Joe Biden, who has previously said he plans to seek a second term in office but has yet to announce a definitive decision.
When Williamson did not immediately answer the question of whether he would be president, he told Medill News Service: “I will not be president if I do not believe that I can contribute to the use of the collective sensibility that I feel is the greatest hope at this time.”
Williamson teased an “important announcement” for March 4.
Williamson ran for president in 2020, but withdrew after failing to garner enough support before the primaries and caucuses. He participated in the first two debates but then failed to qualify for the remaining main debates.
The self-help writer criticized the Democratic National Committee’s decision to make South Carolina the first primary state over Iowa, in part because of the Southern state’s more diverse population, according to Biden’s recommendation.
South Carolina is also a state credited with helping give momentum to the Biden campaign after a rocky start.
“How can you claim to be a champion of democracy when your own process is undemocratic?” Williamson asked.
Democrats are also saddened by the way she was portrayed in her 2020 campaign.
“They’re trying to paint me as stupid, they’re trying to paint me as not serious because they know I’m not,” he told Medill News Service, an outlet run by students at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
This comes as the race for the 2024 GOP nomination heats up. Earlier this month, former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley launched her presidential campaign, becoming the first Republican to run against former President Donald Trump, who announced his bid for office in November.
