Former Democratic presidential candidate and author Marianne Williamson launched a bid to become chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee on Thursday, joining a crowded field of candidates attempting to “make things right” for the party after its election losses last month.
“MAGA is a distinctly 21st century political movement and it will not be defeated by a 20th century tool kit. Data analysis, fundraising, field organizing, and beefed-up technology — while all are important — will not be enough to prepare the way for Democratic victory in 2024 and beyond. That’s why I have decided to run for DNC Chair this year,” Williamson wrote in a post on her Substack on Thursday morning.
Williamson ran for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2020 and 2024. In 2020, she suspended her primary campaign before the Iowa Democratic caucus, but in 2024, Williamson ran and suspended her long-shot bid before unsuspending it and remaining in the race for the nomination.
