Marianne Williamson has become the first Democrat to formally announce a 2024 presidential bid, setting up a primary challenge for President Biden who has long said he intends to run for reelection.
The self-help author who also ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nod, railed against an “entrenched” and “corrupt” political landscape that has led the American democracy to the precipice of doom in announcing her candidacy Saturday from Washington’s Union Station.
“We don’t need any more evidence that his system is intrinsically corrupted,” she said. We can see it in the broken windows. We can see it in the shadow of fact shattered factories. We can see the addiction.” “I see President Biden as someone who is trying his best to help people survive an unjust system,” she said. “The Democratic Party shouldn’t stand for trying to help people survive an unjust system, the Democratic Party should stand for ending an unjust system.”
Mr. Biden has long said it’s his intention to seek a second term, but he has held off on an official announcement. Most Americans, Ms. Williamson said, are living paycheck-to-paycheck, tens of thousands of people die each year from a lack of health care, millions of children live in hunger and tens of millions more are uninsured or underinsured.
