Marianne Williamson Announces Run For DNC Chair

Marianne Williamson American author

Author and former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson has announced her candidacy for the position of Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). In a social media post, Williamson expressed her intention to bring transformation to the Democratic Party in response to the current challenges.

Williamson previously ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in both 2020 and 2024. In 2020, she withdrew from the race in January before the Iowa caucus due to not meeting the polling requirements for debates. Her 2024 campaign saw her achieve a peak performance of 4% in the New Hampshire primary, trailing behind Joe Biden and outgoing Rep. Dean Phillips.

She aims to bring transformation to the Democratic Party.
