On Friday, Marianne Williamson ended her run for president.
 
“I stayed in the race to take advantage of every possible opportunity to share our message,” she said. 
 
“With caucuses and primaries now about to begin, however, we will not be able to garner enough votes in the election to elevate our conversation any more than it is now.”
