Marianne Williamson is planning a D.C. announcement in March, the self-help author and former Democratic presidential candidate said Saturday.
"As America gears up for the 2024 presidential election, I’m preparing an important announcement on March 4th in Washington DC," Williamson said in a statement that listed factors that "propelled me to explore the possibility of running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2024."
In an interview Friday, Williamson indicated she would run as a Democrat, teeing up a potential primary challenge against President Joe Biden.
Williamson said Biden's apparent message to 2024 voters that the economy is getting stronger "speaks to the disconnect between the analysis of party elites versus the struggle of everyday Americans."
"The majority of Americans are still struggling to survive," Williamson said.
Williamson, who has never held a public office, said she plans on visiting New Hampshire this weekend.
Williamson went viral during the 2020 Democratic primary for her debate performances before dropping out before the Iowa caucuses. Williamson also frequently expressed skepticism of vaccine mandates, though she said Friday that she is not "anti-vax."
