Marianne Williamson has announced the revival of her Democratic presidential campaign after unexpectedly outperforming Rep. Dean Phillips in Michigan’s primary on Tuesday, despite having suspended her bid for office just weeks earlier.

“I had suspended it because I was losing the horse race,” Williamson said in a video posted to X, “but something so much more important than the horse race is at stake here, and we must respond.”

Williamson suspended her campaign on February 7 after experiencing significant losses to Democratic President Joe Biden in South Carolina, Nevada, and New Hampshire.

“I read a quote the other day that said sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too,” Williamson said while announcing the suspension of her campaign. “And so today, even though it is time to suspend my campaign for the presidency, I do want to see the beauty.”

Despite not officially having an active campaign, Williamson appeared on Tuesday’s Democratic primary ballot in Michigan alongside Biden, Phillips, and “UNCOMMITTED.” By the end of the night, she finished nearly 600,000 votes behind Biden and trailed “UNCOMMITTED” by 77,000. She surpassed Phillips — who is still formally running — by more than 3,000 votes.

Williamson’s unconventional 2024 presidential campaign has faced challenges. In June 2023, Business Insider reported that she lost two campaign managers in less than a month.

This is not Williamson’s first attempt at the White House; she also ran for president in 2020 but withdrew before primary races began. Years later, several of her former staffers told Politico that she was occasionally “verbally and emotionally abusive” during the campaign.
