Marianne Williamson won the internet in the 2020 Democratic debate
Author and 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson made a stronger showing during Tuesday’s Democratic debate in Detroit, following a performance at the first debate in Miami last month that left most watchers confused.
And the internet was intrigued.
Williamson was the most-searched candidate in 48 states after the debate, after only dominating search trends in two states prior to the event, per Google Trends. Montana Governor Steve Bullock was the most searched candidate in two states after the debate.
By the end of the debate, Williamson also gained over 8,000 new followers on Twitter, bringing her to a grand total of 2.7 million followers, almost on par with frontrunner Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who has 2.9 million followers.
Williamson came out on top in terms of most followers earned, with Warren coming in second with over 5,000 new followers after the debate came to a close.
Williamson had a few breakout moments during the debate, including saying “yadda, yadda, yadda,” while discussing gun safety.
Most notably, she described a “dark psychic force,” when discussing President Donald Trump, environmental justice, and racism, causing an uptick in search for the peculiar choice of words.
