Top Democrats have roundly shrugged off bestselling self-help author Marianne Williamson’s nascent campaign, but her allies are optimistic that she has a path for an upset.
Keenly aware of the uphill battle before them, Williamson’s team is banking on President Joe Biden’s history of fumbling in early primary states as well as her charisma, in order to undercut his expected coronation. Williamson became the first higher-profile Democrat to officially jump into the 2024 Democratic field Saturday.“I love a longshot candidate,” Carlos Cardona, the New Hampshire state director for the Williamson campaign, told the Washington Examiner.
Biden clinched a lackluster fifth place in New Hampshire in the 2020 primary. His campaign appeared to be on life support afterward until the South Carolina election, a state now poised to lead off the primary process. Her campaign debut was met with hundreds of supporters clustered in Union Station, Washington, D.C. Attendees included YouTubers Krystal Ball, co-host of Breaking Points, and Kyle Kulinski, host of the Kyle Kulinski Show.
“She's bold. And I think that in a political climate that we have today, boldness in the right way is necessary for change,” added attendee Breje Williams.“It's going to be a bit of an uphill [contest],” attendee Liz Beth said. “But you know what Trump got in and that was a surprise. We're open to surprises. This will be a better surprise.”
