Author and self-help guru Marianne Williamson is headed to the early primary state of New Hampshire as she contemplates another run at the White House

Williamson competed in the 2020 Democratic primary and created viral debate moments like when she said that her rivals' 'wonkiness' wouldn't triumph over the 'dark psychic force' of 'collectivized hatred' brought about by former President Donald Trump

'New Hampshire is an important state and I had a wonderful time there when I ran before,' Williamson told The Washington Post. 'I felt a deep connection to my New Hampshire supporters and I'm going back in a few weeks to connect with some old friends and new ones.' 

Williamson told the paper that she wouldn't be doing any 'public talks,' but instead would use the time on the ground to talk to people before making an 'informed decision.' 

The author had previously put out a statement previewing her Granite State travels and also appeared on The Hill TV's Rising program where she teased a run - saying she would likely do so as a Democrat and not a third-party contender.

'If I run, clearly there are forces within the Democratic Party who will be trying to invisible-ize me. I think they would have an easier time trying to invisible-ize me if I run third party,' she said Wednesday. 'If I do run and I run as a Democrat, I will be more inconvenient to the people who need to be inconvenienced.' 

President Joe Biden has made New Hampshire ripe ground for an insurgent's bid as he's pushed the Democratic Party to reorder the primaries - giving South Carolina, where he mounted a comeback in 2020, first place.  

Traditionally, Iowa holds the first presidential caucus followed by New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary. 

In 2020, however, Iowa's Democratic Party's mobile tool to count caucus results failed and the winner of the contest wasn't known for hours. 

New Hampshire's primary was conducted without any major hiccups.

Still, with Biden's blessing, New Hampshire's primary would be held the same day as Nevada's contest, a week after South Carolina's voters headed to the polls. 

That runs counter to a New Hampshire state law that mandates the first primary.

New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley warned Democratic leaders in a letter that there could be trouble if the Granite State loses first position, writing it could 'create an opening for an insurgent candidate - serious or not - who can garner media attention and capitalize on Granite Staters' anger about being passed over by [Biden's] campaign.' 

And Williamson already has beef with Biden, over how he won the 2020 Democratic primary.   

Williamson called it a 'coup' when moderate Democratic candidates Sen. Amy Klobuchar and now Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg dropped out and endorsed Biden before Super Tuesday, essentially killing Bernie Sanders' presidential hopes. 

After dropping her own bid before the Iowa caucuses, Williamson endorsed Sanders after his blowout win in the Nevada caucuses - the third presidential contest.  

But Sanders' momentum was stalled by Biden's first place finish in South Carolina and every moderate getting behind him before and directly after Super Tuesday.
