Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson has reiterated her call for a debate with fellow primary rival Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and incumbent President Joe Biden.
Williamson believes that the voters, not the politicians or parties, should decide the front-runner.
Biden has made scant appearances since the White House Correspondents' Dinner and has not commented on Williamson or Kennedy. In previous remarks, Williamson claimed that the Democratic National Committee "rigged" the primary, in part by moving South Carolina's venue ahead of New Hampshire, because "they know [Biden] did not do well in New Hampshire."
Williamson believes that voters should have the right to see their options, hear their agendas, and decide who they want to be President.
When asked about Biden's "cognitive decline," Williamson disagreed, saying that she is not a physician and that it is up to each American to draw their conclusions about his competency to hold office. She believes she is a better candidate, citing her energy and ideas, and that every American can decide for themselves. Williamson also joked that she has the power to take on either former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the general election.
Williamson's economic platform includes a 2% wealth tax on those over $50 million and an additional 1% blanket tax on billionaires. She believes that the American people's safety, health, and well-being should come before short-term profits for substantial corporate entities. Williamson criticized the Trump tax cuts, saying she wants lower taxes for middle-class Americans.
During an interview with Sean Hannity, Williamson invoked the 18th-century architect of modern market capitalism, Adam Smith, and noted that he said capitalism could not exist outside an ethical context. She believes that the capitalist system has "lost some of its soul" over the last half-century, suggesting it has become too unfettered for the wealthiest and most privileged in the United States at present-day.
Hannity, a capitalist who believes in lower taxes and limited government, pressed Williamson on her economic platform. However, Williamson believes that her platform aligns with Adam Smith's ethical context and that the American people should come before short-term profits for substantial corporate entities.
