EXCLUSIVE: Marianne Williamson’s 2020 presidential campaign was plagued by poor morale and a miserable work culture, culminating in her firing the entire staff while she remained in the race. Four years later, the situation might somehow be worse.
In 2020, Marianne Williamson’s presidential campaign was plagued by poor morale and a miserable work culture,Four years later, as the famed new age author mounts another longshot run for the Democratic nomination, the situation might somehow be worse.
The candidate, who vowed in 2020 to “harness love” to defeat Donald Trump, frequently tears down staff with “demeaning” comments, according to one staffer, and subjects them to frequent outbursts. Another former Williamson campaign aide described the entire operation as “a vanity campaign” with “no real plan” between now and the first votes of the Democratic primary, likely to be in New Hampshire’s contest some time in January. The handful of surveys of the 2024 Democratic primary show Williamson in the single digits, behind Biden’s only other challenger, the anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
But with little overlap between her 2020 and 2024 operations, this new round of Williamson staffers came to the campaign “as fans,” according to one staffer. Aides even went so far as to accept a proposal from former campaign manager Peter Daou to “even out” everyone’s pay at $6,000 per month.

Staff at Ukraine's experimental nuclear site pick up pieces from Russian strikesThere is activity at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology, but it’s not what scientists at this cutting-edge nuclear laboratory trained for. Staff at the atomic research lab in northeastern Ukraine spend their days patching up the facility, which has been badly damaged by repeated Russian strikes. Both Ukraine and the International Atomic Energy Agency accuse Russia of targeting the facility, set up with U.S. money to conduct nuclear research. The one positive note is that there has been no release of radiation from the lab’s small experimental reactor. The general director of the institute’s National Science Center says the damage is “significant — but we are doing repairs on our own.”
