Marianne Williamson halted her pursuit for the Democratic nomination on February 7 following her defeat by President Joe Biden in the Nevada primary. However, she has recently declared her intention to re-enter the race.
On February 28, Williamson declared her re-entry into the race for the Democratic nomination.
