Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson has sharply criticized President Biden and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for their approach to the 2024 Democratic primaries. In a recent interview, Williamson argued that the DNC's unwavering support for Biden and the decision to forgo primary debates undermines democratic principles and deprives voters of a chance to thoroughly evaluate all candidates.
The DNC's resolution to fully support Biden's reelection bid and the absence of primary debates have drawn criticism from Williamson and fellow challenger Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Williamson contends that this approach prevents voters from properly interviewing all candidates and weighing their qualifications. She emphasizes the importance of a transparent and competitive primary process, allowing voters to make informed decisions.
While acknowledging Biden's strong lead in the polls, Williamson points to a recent Fox News national poll showing her at 10% and Kennedy at 17%, suggesting a potential shift in momentum. She believes that as the campaign progresses, voters will gain a clearer understanding of each candidate's platform and positions, leading to a more balanced race.

Furthermore, Williamson criticizes the DNC's decision to alter the primary calendar, removing Iowa and New Hampshire from their traditional lead-off positions. She views this move as an attempt to manipulate the democratic process and disregard the will of these states. The DNC's rationale for the change is to promote diversity within the party, but Williamson argues that it undermines the established primary system.
Addressing her campaign's recent change in management, Williamson dismisses concerns about staff turnover, attributing it to the normal process of building a strong team. She criticizes the media's focus on these internal matters, suggesting a deliberate attempt to create a negative narrative around her campaign.
Williamson remains determined to bring attention to what she sees as crucial issues for the American people, including universal healthcare and stronger action on climate change. She believes her message resonates with voters who are seeking genuine solutions to these challenges.
