#shorts On 3/6/2023, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre offered a dismissive response to Democrat Marianne Williamson’s long-shot 2024 presidential campaign, poking fun at the self-help author and spiritual adviser. A reporter asked Jean-Pierre on Monday if President Joe Biden was “annoyed” or “frustrated” with Williamson, who formally announced her candidacy Saturday.

“Just not tracking that,” Jean-Pierre responded. “If I had a — what is it called? — a little globe here, a crystal ball that I can tell you, a magic eight ball, whatever. If I could feel her aura,” she continued, to laughter. “I just don’t have anything to share on that.” “Oh gosh, you guys are making me laugh now,” Jean-Pierre, who typically takes pains to avoid commenting on electoral politics from the White House podium, added.

Williamson’s bid makes her the first known Democratic primary challenger to Biden, who has said he plans to seek reelection. Williamson has been critical of Biden’s stewardship of the economy, saying that his decision to tout its strength showed a “disconnect between the analysis of party elites versus the struggle of everyday Americans. The majority of Americans are still struggling to survive,” she said.
