Marianne Williamson has returned to the race. The best-selling spiritual writer had suspended her campaign for the Democratic nomination because she "was losing the horse race." However, as he announced in a video on Wednesday: "Something so much more important than the horse race is at stake here, and we must respond."
Williamson took the opportunity to criticize Trump - whom she described as a "fascist" - and Biden, to whom she complained about the lack of an economic plan for the "millions of voters for whom they can't even survive unless they work two or three jobs." Bidenomics, she assured, benefits "20% of us."
Williamson also insisted on her message that the United States has a government "by the corporations and for the corporations." She assured that the country needs a president who can promote a drastic turn and inspire Americans and, in words that resonate with the leading candidate in the Republican race: "That's what it is to make this country great again."

"We're watchin a car in slow motion here." "Some people would say: 'Oh, miss Williamson, you're delusional'. I'll tell you what's delusional, what's delusional is closing our eyes and crossing our fingers and hoping that somehow Biden and Harris will be able to beat that juggernaut of dark, dark vision (Trump)".
"We need to say to people 'we see your pain', and we need to say to Donald Trump: 'We see your BS'."
