Okay - due diligence time.... "Bestselling spiritual author, 71 yr old Marianne Williamson presses on with against-the-odds presidential run."

A thumper. Well God bless her, and may she find peace in the valley of the disenfranchised.

It might not be the standard Christian bible she's thumping though. from See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_Williamson#... :

Unity Church Pastor
Williamson became the spiritual leader for the Church of Today, a Unity Church in Warren, Michigan, where she had 2,300 congregants and 50,000 television viewers.[16] Her position also included administrative leadership; her actions as leader included booking Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, expanding the bookstore, and increasing the congregation's racial and sexual orientation diversity. As a result, the Church grew rapidly.[25][14][26][27][28]

Williamson resigned from the Church Renaissance Unity Interfaith Spiritual Fellowship[clarification needed] in 2003. For a time, she lectured at Methodist, Episcopal and Unitarian churches.[29]

And from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_Church :

Unity is a spiritual organization founded by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore in 1889. It grew out of Transcendentalism and became part of the New Thought movement.[1] Unity may be best known for its Daily Word devotional publication begun in 1924. Originally based in Christianity with emphasis on the Bible, Unity more recently has said it offers "positive, practical Christianity" and describes itself as "for people who might call themselves spiritual but not religious."[2]
