Self-help guru Marianne Williamson officially launched her long-shot presidential bid Saturday — and was quickly blasted by Democrat operatives.
“We know that this country is plagued by many challenges now, not the least of which is hatred and division which is greater than any of us have experienced in our national life,” the Democrat told a crowd of more than 600 at her kickoff event inside Washington DC’s Union Station.
“And it is our job to create a vision of justice and love that is so powerful that it will override the forces of hatred and injustice and fear.”
Williamson’s stab at the 2024 Democratic nomination is her second run — she dropped out of the 2020 race before the Iowa caucuses despite her gaining popularity for accusing former President Donald Trump of conjuring up a “dark psychic force” in the US.
Williamson is now the first Democrat to formally challenge President Biden, who has yet to formally announce his own re-election campaign as recent polls indicate 68% of voters believe he’s too old for a second term.
