Former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson said she supports entrepreneur Andrew Yang in the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses.

Williamson in a series of Instagram posts on Wednesday said she is backing Yang because of his “self-confidence, levity and positivity” in the hopes of getting him past the early primaries.

"I’m lending my support to Andrew in Iowa, hopefully to help him get past the early primaries & remind us not to take ourselves too seriously," she posted. "We need that this year."

"Andrew’s personality is like a tuning fork realigning us with something we need to retrieve, taking us back to a more innocent time, making us remember to chuckle," she added.

Yang's personality is one of the many reasons I support him.

3. Interesting... after a debate, she was asked who else up there she liked...

...and she mentioned something about being a Sanders and Warren girl, or something like that. But her reasons for choosing Yang here make perfect sense for what it is Williamson is all about.

4. I agree! His light-hearted approach to dealing with deadly serious issues is inspirational.

This attitude makes him extremely likeable, which makes him extremely electable.
