If Marianne Williamson is Running for President, will Bernie Sanders?

It might be slim, but I think there’s a chance that he will.

Whether Biden’s supporters like it or not, it seems as though there will at least be a small primary for the Democrats leading into the 2024 election. As most of us who follow politics have heard, Marianne Williamson entering the race is now all but inevitable, and she is set to make an announcement in March.

But who else?

Well, none other than Bernie Sanders’ wife Jane peaked my interest this morning with her response to 2024 Democratic poll without Biden that — of course — didn’t include her husband:

“Hmmm…”

Whether he runs or not, this certainly doesn’t sound like a family that has ruled it out.

I do not think that if it was just Joe Biden in the race, he would not run as he has made that perfectly clear in the past. But the reaction of his wife to this poll has me thinking that they’ve had discussions, and maybe Williamson’s intentions have swayed him towards running.

As for whether he should or not, I personally am absolutely on the fence.

After two races, I’m just not sure he has it in him.
