Marianne Williamson, a self-help author and former Democratic presidential candidate who ran in both 2020 and 2024, has announced her candidacy for the chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Williamson aims to 'reinvent the party' in response to the Democratic Party's recent electoral losses. She argues that the traditional methods of party organizing are insufficient to counter the MAGA movement, emphasizing the need to understand the psychological and emotional appeal of President-elect Donald Trump. Williamson's campaign focuses on creating a party that listens more to its constituents and advocates for working people, with a strategy to engage Americans politically throughout the year. The DNC is set to elect its new chair on February 1, with several other candidates also vying for the position.
