The Democrat Marianne Williamsona self-help book guru, has announced that she is withdrawing her candidacy for the nomination of the Democratic Party of the United States in the primary process for the 2024 presidential elections, after its failure in the electoral events of recent days in which the American president, Joe Biden, has obtained more than 90% of the votes.
“I read a quote the other day that said ‘sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too.’ So today, although it is time to suspend the campaign for the Presidency“I want to see the beauty and I want all of you who have supported me so incredibly on this journey – donors, supporters, team and volunteers – to also see the beauty,” he declared in a video.
The author has been “proud” of the work done in recent months and has stated that she has defended “those in society who see their lives falling apart” through bad public policy and environmental, racial, criminal or economic.
«We have done what we can to shine light in some very dark times. For that, I will always be very grateful,” she expressed, before inviting hopeful youth to present their candidacies and “be part of American history” with “greater hope” and “inspiration” for the millions of people who live in USA.
Williamson’s decision to withdraw his candidacy comes a day after Biden won 90% of the vote in the Nevada primary (the first in a west coast state), while she got 2.5%. The third candidate, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, was not on the ballot because he filed late.
In the previous electoral events (South Carolina and New Hampshire), the American president also obtained around 90% of the seats, so It is understood that he will be the Democrats’ candidate for the elections. Biden, after his overwhelming victories, has not made reference to his rivals in the primaries, but rather to what he considers will be his opponent in the Republican Party, Donald Trump.
Williamson, who is 71 years old and ran hoping to be a viable option for more left-wing voters dissatisfied with the party’s policies, came to the public spotlight through his self help books and thanks to the fact that she is the spiritual guru of the presenter Oprah Winfrey. In 2020 she was a candidate with an unconventional campaign that proposed love and peace to defeat the then president, Donald Trump. After her withdrawal from the campaign she supported Senator Bernie Sanders.
