Marianne Williamson

 

On January 28, 2019, Williamson announced that she would be entering the 2020 presidential race as a Democrat. She was able to receive enough donations and rank high enough in the polls to qualify for the first and second rounds of Democratic primary debates.

When asked by uPolitics about why she had entered the presidential race, Williamson said, “We are now living at a time of crisis, deep crisis.”

“It’s an integrative approach to politics that we need today, just like we have an integrative approach to health,” replied the spiritual guru. “It’s not that you take care of your nutrition and your exercise and your lifestyle or go to the doctor, you do all of them. But the more you take care of your nutrition and your exercise and your lifestyle the less likely it is that you will end up at the doctor. It’s all of the above and that’s how we have to see politics as well.”
