Marianne Williamson, a long-time friend of Oprah Winfrey, announced this past Friday that she will be running for president in 2020.
Williamson is a bestselling author and spiritual guru, who first appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1992.
Known for her book titled Return to Love, which focuses on finding inner peace through love, Williamson is also well known for her charity work- founding HIV/AIDS centers during the AIDS crisis as well as founding Project Angel Food in Los Angeles.
This isn’t Williamson’s first go at running for office. In 2014 she raised $2 million to win the seat in California that was vacated by Rep. Henry Waxman. Running as an Independent, Williamson received support from famous democrats like Jane Lynch and Eva Longoria. She placed fourth in the race in which sixteen were running, however, and received just 13% of the total vote.
