Throughout this year's Democratic primary, Joe Biden's faced direct challenges from fellow party members Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson. Both candidates have made the case that their visions and leadership styles remain preferable to what another four years of Biden in the White House would entail.

In spite of this, the incumbent president currently holds 206 delegates of the 1,968 that he needs to secure the Democrat Party's nominee. Amid the Democratic National Committee refusing to host any primary debates, the party's been accused of essentially coronating Biden as the nominee.

While Phillips' presidential campaign remains ongoing, Williamson suspended hers on exactly three weeks ago on February 7. Earlier today, the author announced that she's re-entering the race for president of the United States.

What to know about Williamson's return to the 2024 election field

In a video on X, the Democratic candidate stated her campaign is, as of today, officially "unsuspended." According to Williamson, she ended her bid three weeks ago after determining that she wasn't winning the "horse race."

However, it is now Williamson's view that the horse race isn't the only issue at stake. Raising doubts about Biden and his fiscal policies, she also stressed that former President Trump is a "fascist" who the American people must defeat.

Like Phillips, Williamson believes presidential primaries have fallen victim to corruption, with special interest groups and corporations largely calling the shots.

Before her video announcement wrapped up, the left-wing writer stressed the importance of liberal policies, such as Medicare for All, student loan debt erasure, and universal basic income (UBI).

Ignoring the critics

Once a candidate drops out of a political race, they usually don't get back in. It's more common for them to instead endorse one of the contenders who's still running for office.

Williamson, by all standards, isn't like other political candidates on either side of the aisle. She's also dismissed individuals who view her as delusional or out of touch.

Instead, the Democrat said it's "delusional" for people to assume that Biden and VP Harris will "beat that juggernaut" that she described as economic anxiety and declining opportunities for America's middle class.
