The Spin
Progressive narrative
Although Williamson has been losing the horse race to Biden, it's become apparent that a Biden-Trump contest won't bring important progressive issues to the forefront. Williamson can get people talking about ways to make the economy work for everyone and end the reign of the corporations over the country, in addition to instilling more progressive values in the country.
Democratic narrative
Williamson talks a good game when it comes to progressive policies, but there are too many things about her that force people to not take her seriously, including her background as a problematic New Age spiritual guru. She has no experience in electoral politics or governing. If there's room for a progressive challenge to Biden, it shouldn't come from Williamson.
Republican narrative
Williamson sees what much of the country can see — Biden is on his way to losing to Trump. Democrats decided to put nearly all their support behind the president without considering younger, more dynamic choices. Now they're paying the price and will probably lose the White House.
