White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made light of Marianne Williamson's 2024 presidential campaign launch Monday.
Williamson, who ran against President Joe Biden in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, became the first Democrat to enter the race Saturday."I'm just not tracking that," Jean-Pierre told the Washington Examiner when asked during Monday's press briefing if Biden was"annoyed" or"frustrated" that Williamson jumped into the race ahead of him.
"If I had a — what is it called? — a little globe here, a crystal ball, then I could tell you. A magic 8-ball, whatever, if I could feel her aura," she continued."But I just don't have anything to share on that." Biden has not yet announced, yet first lady Jill Biden suggested that he's"pretty much" made up his mind to seek reelection and is simply waiting for a time and place to announce.
Williamson, a celebrity self-help guru, has heartily attacked the Democratic Party leadership Saturday for changing the primary voting schedule in an alleged attempt to aid Biden. "This is a democracy. This is the thing. The DNC should not be rigging the system. They don't even pretend anymore," she said during an interview with ABC."They're not even covert about their swaying the primary season. They're very overt about it."
