Marianne Williamson announced she is ending her bid for president
It was not immediately clear what the catalyst for her exit ultimately was. Williamsonfrom Elon University just Thursday that she remained in the race "to the extent to which I wake up in the morning and my heart says be in the race. So this morning, I woke up and I knew I was supposed to be here tonight."of her campaign, and in an effort to resuscitate her flagging effort last fall, she became the first candidate to air campaign ads focusing on the subject.
She ultimately failed to break through in a historically crowded field of candidates, struggling to crack 1 percent in qualifying polls for months. After appearing in the first two party debates, she didn’t make the cut for the four most recent debates even as she managed to outlast sitting mayors, governors and members of Congress in the race.
And like nearly every other candidate who dropped out of the race before her, Williamson made no mention of endorsing one of her former rivals in her announcement on Friday. "Whichever one of you wins the nomination, I will be there with all my energy and in full support," she wrote. But with the uptick in national attention came significant scrutiny for her persistent questioning of vaccine safety while she professed to be “pro-science” and merely anti-Big Pharma. Internet sleuths also resurfaced past comments in which she dismissed depression as a scam and questioned the merits of antidepressants. She apologized for some of her controversial remarks, but attributed the onslaught of criticism to a smear campaign originating on the left.
