Self-help guru Marianne Williamson on Sunday endorsed her former Democratic rival Bernie Sanders one day after the Vermont senator handily won the Nevada caucuses.
Williamson, who suspended her own long-shot campaign for president last month, made the announcement at Sanders’ campaign rally in Austin, Texas.
“Bernie Sanders has been taking a stand for a very long time,” she told the crowd. “We’re here and we’re with Bernie.”
Sanders has emerged as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, collecting early wins in New Hampshire and Nevada.
A number of other former Democratic presidential candidates have made endorsements in the race.
US Reps. Seth Moulton and Tim Ryan have backed former Vice President Joe Biden.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren was endorsed by former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro.
