Spiritual adviser and bestselling self-help author Marianne Williamson is making a second straight run for the White House and taking aim at President Joe Biden.

Williamson, who called for reparations and a Department of Peace as part of her long-shot campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, declared she plans to launch her candidacy for president in 2024 in an exclusive interview with Medill News Service on Thursday.

"I wouldn’t be running for president if I didn’t believe I could contribute to harnessing the collective sensibility that I feel is our greatest hope at this time," Williamson said.

With many leaders in the Democratic Party from both the establishment and progressive wings saying they’ll support Biden, who’s expected in the coming weeks or months to announce his reelection campaign, Williamson becomes the first Democrat with a national following to primary challenge the 80-year-old president.

"Apparently Biden's going to run on a message that the economy is getting stronger. I think that speaks to the disconnect between the analysis of party elites versus the struggle of everyday Americans," Williamson said in a recent interview with Politico.

And in a press release two weeks ago, Williamson spotlighted that she was exploring "the possibility of running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2024."

"As America gears up for the 2024 presidential election, I’m preparing for an important announcement on March 4th in Washington DC," Williamson advertised.

During the 2020 cycle, Williamson was an unconventional candidate who preached the politics of love. She emphasized "six pillars for a season of moral repair," including economic justice. She proposed creating a Department of Children and Youths and a Department of Peace, and she pushed for reparations for the descendants of African-American slaves. Among her unorthodox acts was holding a meditation session while campaigning in New Hampshire.

But she struggled with fundraising and failed to qualify for most of the Democrat presidential debates. Days after laying off most of her small staff, Williamson dropped out of the race in January 2020, just ahead of the start of the nomination primaries and caucuses.

"With caucuses and primaries now about to begin, however, we will not be able to garner enough votes in the election to elevate our conversation any more than it is now," Williamson said at the time. And pointing to what at that moment was a very competitive race for the Democratic nomination, Williamson added that she didn’t want to "get in the way of a progressive candidate winning."

Williamson traveled to New Hampshire a couple of weeks ago, ahead of her 2024 announcement, and it's likely she'll spend plenty of her time campaigning there going forward. That comes as no surprise as political strategists have said that if there’s going to be a primary challenge against Biden, the Granite State appears to be the state where the action will take place.

"Now you have everyone who wants to take a shot at Biden coming to New Hampshire to do it," a longtime Granite State-based progressive strategist recently told Fox News as he pointed toward the near certainty of the state holding an unsanctioned Democrat presidential primary next year. "New Hampshire is the place where it’s happening."

New Hampshire, which prides itself on its well-informed electorate and its emphasis on small-scale and grassroots retail politics, has for a century held the first primary in the race for the White House. While Republicans are making no changes to their presidential nominating calendar in the 2024 election cycle, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) earlier this month voted overwhelmingly to approve a new top of the calendar pushed by Biden that upends the traditional schedule.

New Hampshire will now vote second in the DNC’s calendar, along with Nevada, three days after South Carolina, under the new schedule. 

But Granite State Democrats warn that New Hampshire will still go first — courtesy of a longstanding state law that mandates the leadoff primary position — and that a primary not sanctioned by the DNC, where Biden doesn’t take part, could invite trouble for the president.

GROWING SIGNS BIDEN COULD FACE A PRIMARY CHALLENGE IN THIS KEY NOMINATING STATE

"President Biden will not file for election in the New Hampshire primary, which will still go first," longtime New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley emphasized on the eve of the DNC calendar vote. And he warned that "this will set him up, we believe, for an embarrassing situation where the first primary in the country will be won by someone other than the president. This will only fuel chatter of about Democrats divisions."

Buckley’s prediction appears to be materializing with the arrival of Williamson.

Asked about the DNC’s nominating calendar move, she told Politico last month "that is spitting in the face of democracy."

And she’s not alone.

Environmental lawyer and anti-COVID vaccine crusader Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will hold an event in New Hampshire early next month. Kennedy, the son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, will hold an event on March 3 at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, which for nearly a quarter-century has been a must-stop in the Granite State for potential or actual White House contenders.

Los Angeles police shot and killed a woman who pointed a pellet gun at officers, authorities said Thursday.

Police responded Wednesday night following a report of a woman who pointed a handgun at a passerby, according to Officer Melissa Podany.

When officers encountered the suspect, she pointed the weapon at them and they opened fire, officials said.

The unidentified, woman, described as being in her 40s, was pronounced dead at a hospital, the Los Angeles Times reported.

A BB or pellet gun was recovered at the scene in the Silver Lake area, police said.

The shooting will be investigated by the police department's Force Investigation Division and inspector general's office, along with the LA County district attorney’s office, the Times reported.

The department said it would release a report about the shooting within 45 days that could include officers’ body-worn camera footage.
