Democratic longshot and spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson announces she is BACK in the White House race after beating Dean Phillips in the Michigan primary and after 100,000 voted against Biden in protest

Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson 'unsuspended' her campaign Wednesday, 21 days after she announced she was pulling out of the 2024 race.

Williamson, a best-selling author and self-help guru, is one of only two mainstream challengers to President Joe Biden's ascent to the Democratic nomination. 

Her rise to national prominence was boosted by Oprah Winfrey in the 1990s, as a frequent guest on her daytime talk show, and then again in 2020, when she ran for the Democratic nomination for the first time.

Williamson posted a video to X Wednesday morning explaining she had dropped out because she was 'losing the horse race.' 'But something so much more important than the horse race is at stake here, and we must respond,' she said. 

She argued in a note to supporters that Biden was a 'weak candidate' to take on the likely Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump, labeling the former president a 'fascist.'

Trump easily won the Michigan primary to rival Nikki Haley, while Biden lost 100,000 Democratic votes to 'uncommitted,' as Wolverine State voters protested his support for Israel in its war against Hamas. 

Williamson's name remained on the ballot and garnered 3 percent, a better performance than Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, who had received the endorsement of the Detroit News.  

'We cannot sit idly by while the D.C. political class sleepwalks this country into disaster,' she wrote Wednesday to supporters. 

'I will respond to the cult-like personality of Donald Trump with a light-filled vision of hope and possibility,' she continued. 'We will become once again a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" at a time when corporate interests have taken Washington hostage,' she said. 

Williamson initially dropped out of the race after underperforming in Nevada's Demcocratic primary earlier this month. 

In a video to supporters she said, 'I read a quote the other day that said that "sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too."' 

'And so today, even though it is time to suspend my campaign for the presidency I do want to see the beauty and I want all of you incredibly supported me on this journey, as donors, as supporters, as team and as volunteers, to see the beauty too,' she said

'There is so much for us to take from this. And that includes knowing that we laid it down in way that we should all be proud of,' Williamson added. 

She also told supporters in an email, ''First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you don't win :)…' 

'While the level of our failure is obvious to all, a level of success is real nonetheless,' she continued. 'And I'm not only glad we did that; I'm proud of it.'

ABC News first reported Williamson's decision to drop out of the race. 

She had officially entered the race in March.

Williamson actively campaigned in New Hampshire - bypassed spending time in South Carolina, where Biden was dominant - and then placed her bets on Nevada.

However, the Silver State primary was immediately called for the sitting president after polls closed. She garnered just under 3,200 votes - or 2.9 percent - to Biden's dominate 89.3 percent.

In New Hampshire she received around 5,000 votes or 4 percent of the total. 

In South Carolina she got around 2,700 votes and 2.1 percent of the vote.
