In a letter to DNC members posted on her Transform with Marianne Williamson website, she pledged that as chair she would seek to “reinvent the party.”

“Indeed, it is important to recognize the psychological and emotional dimensions of Trump’s appeal. We need to understand them to create the energy to confront him. MAGA is clearly a political movement of the 21st century, and it will not be defeated by the 20th century.” “The toolkit of data analysis, fundraising, field organizing, and technology enhancement – while important – will not be sufficient to pave the way for Democratic victory in 2024 and beyond,” she stressed.
“We will create a wave of patriotic fervor, and a connection in the American heart to the great historical legacy of this country. Our ultimate success will be to create a feeling in people's minds that in order to advance that legacy, the smartest move you can make is to vote Democratic,” she said.
