The 2020 presidential campaign of Marianne Williamson, an author, was announced on January 28, 2019, after the initial formation of an exploratory committee on November 15, 2018. Williamson's bid for the Democratic nomination was her second political campaign, after previously running as an independent to represent California's 33rd congressional district in 2014. Prior to her candidacy, Williamson was known as "Oprah's spiritual adviser" due to her frequent appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Williamson described herself as a "pretty straight-line progressive democrat". Her policy positions include $100 billion in reparations for slavery, a "Medicare for All model" for healthcare, a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants without a "serious criminal background", establishing a "Department of Peace" to greatly expand the use of diplomacy and mediation, and support for the Green New Deal.

On January 10, 2020, Williamson announced she had ended her presidential campaign. She pledged to support the eventual Democratic nominee,[9] but later announced her endorsement for Bernie Sanders at a February 23 rally in Austin, Texas.[10]
