Anyone familiar with this blog will know that I resonate with the politically progressive vision shared by both Bernie and Marianne. Indeed, until she suspended her campaign last month, Marianne was my preferred candidate. Since then, I've wholeheartedly supported Bernie, as I did in 2016.
According to Reuters correspondent Ginger Gibson, only a handful of former candidates have made endorsements in the 2020 race. “Former Vice President Joe Biden has picked up the backing of two former candidates – U.S. Representatives Seth Moulton and Tim Ryan,” writes Gibson, while “Julián Castro, the former federal housing chief, endorsed Senator Elizabeth Warren.”
Following is Marianne Williamson's speech at yesterday's rally with and for Bernie Sanders in Texas, an event that drew over 12,000 people to Vic Matthias Shores in Austin to show their support for the Democratic front-runner in the 2020 U.S. presidential race. Marianne was introduced to the cheering crowd by columnist and political activist Jim Hightower.
