Marianne Williamson, a Democratic presidential candidate and best-selling author, has accused President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party of “mocking” her and “trying to suppress [her] voice” during her second campaign for the White House.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Williamson expressed her desire to debate Biden, but claimed that Democratic officials were unlikely to let that happen.
Williamson has previously called for reparations and the creation of a Department of Peace in her unsuccessful bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.
She launched her 2024 campaign in the nation’s capital last week, but trails Biden in the polls. Williamson’s campaign highlights include emphasising the “politics of love”, creating a Department of Children and Youth, and holding a meditation session while campaigning in New Hampshire.
Political strategists have suggested that if there is a primary challenge against Biden, New Hampshire will be the location.

Commentary:
Marianne Williamson’s bid for the White House is not going to succeed, and that is the simple truth.
The idea that President Biden and the Democratic Party are “mocking” and attempting to suppress Williamson is absurd, as she is entitled to run for office just like any other American citizen.
However, Williamson is entitled to her views and opinions, and her campaign is no doubt providing her with a platform to express them.
Her ideas regarding a Department of Peace and reparations for the descendants of African-American slaves are not mainstream, but they may resonate with some voters.
Regardless of the outcome of the campaign, Williamson has the right to run, and the Democratic Party has an obligation to treat all candidates with respect.
However, the chances of Williamson unseating Biden in the Democratic primary are almost nonexistent, and she should not take the lack of attention to her campaign as evidence of bias or suppression.
