WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Marianne Williamson, the self-help author who gained little traction in her bid to challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination, dropped out of the race on Wednesday night.

Williamson, 71, had focused much attention on New Hampshire's Democratic primary on Jan. 23 but gained only about 4% support in an vote that Biden won handily despite not being on the ballot.

She had also run for the Democratic nomination in 2020.

"I take your love with me, I take your support with me, and I know that, as with every ending, it's always a new beginning," Williamson said in a video posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Another long-shot Biden challenger, Democratic Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota, has remained in the race despite limited support.
