Author Marianne Williamson on Wednesday made the unusual move of "unsuspending" her long-shot 2024 presidential campaign.
"As of today, I am unsuspending my campaign for the presidency of the United States, " she said in a video posted on the social media platform X.
We have to respond to Donald Trump's dark vision of possibility ... we need to have a peace academy as well as a military academy," she said.
"We need to have a ceasefire now," she added.
Williamson, despite having dropped her bid, edged out Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) for third in the Michigan Democratic primary, with over 98% of expected votes reported.
As of Wednesday morning, she had received about 3% of the vote in Michigan to Phillips' 2.7%.

Free everything doesn’t work.
Why?
Cause someone has to pay for it.
It also doesn’t work because it incentivizes laziness over hard work.
That’s why socialism always fails.
While you’re right to condemn the tyranny of this current Administration your solutions are bad.
@CruelSealSocialist2yrs2Y
Oddly silent on corporate socialism which the right has been pushing for decades and guess what?! Trickle Down Economics doesn’t work
@SelfishSnailGreen2yrs2Y
Capitalism sucks!!! Time for a change!!!
@AmusedLlamaLibertarian2yrs2Y
Your taxes are already paying for it. How does the entire world pay for Universal Healthcare or Tuition Free College?

Williamson is spot on, America is now a country By the Corporation, For the Coporation ... no longer For the People, By the People. It's impossible for Biden to latch onto this mantra, much of his big dollars come from Corporations.
Don't misunderstand me, I am proBiden... after 2024, when we win, the Democratic Party has to do better and take on the Corporations. That isn't our battle this election, it is our battle in 2028.
So let me get this straight... She claims that the American people are struggling financially and her solution is to add a whole bunch of government funded programs that would inevitably raise taxes on the people struggling financially?

What donor came by and said they will help her bankroll her campaign?
Sorry – Biden will win this nomination, leading your party to an humiliating defeat in November, as you deserve and the American people need for the continuance of our free institutions, liberties, and justice.
