Is she still running? Miss her at the debates. She was fun to see.

She is still running. She did not make it into the last debate because she did not get at least 2% support in 4 national polls prior to the debate, she only got to 2% in one national poll. She did meet fundraising requirements, however, so she has been complaining about being excluded.

Maybe we will see her up there again then after more drop out. She certainly brings something different.

She's already pivoted to the post-campaign grifting phase:

Marianne Williamson’s presidential campaign may be stalling out, but she’s eyeing a lucrative next chapter

If you signed up for the Marianne Williamson campaign mailing list earlier this year, you might have gotten an email in early August from an entity called the Williamson Institute; subject: “Summer Sale Now On!” If you opened it, you would have been greeted by a soft-focus portrait of the presidential candidate gazing placidly at the pages of a hardcover tome beside a golden Buddha and an orchid.

“For one week only, indulge in any of our on-demand courses and seminars for 45% off!” the email read. “Whether you want to invoke the romantic mysteries, create a career that matters, divinely align your body and soul, or focus on another area of your life in a miraculous way, now is the time to treat yourself. As always, we hope this offering will enrich your life and nourish your soul.” Interested parties were advised to use the code “SummerSale.”

The Williamson Institute, it’s worth noting, did not technically exist yet. (A note on Williamson’s personal website indicated it would be launching “soon.”) The email linked instead to Marianne.com, where for a cool $249 one might enroll in a four-part online course on “aging miraculously” or a five-parter on “miraculous relationships.” The four-part weight-loss seminar, five-parter on making money (or, rather, obeying “the law of divine compensation”), and a three-part “Aphrodite Training” were each comparative steals at $149 a piece.
