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.

She clarified that she was not endorsing anyone officially, while maintaining that the priority is to defeat President Trump Donald John TrumpObama calls on Senate not to fill Ginsburg's vacancy until after election Planned Parenthood: 'The fate of our rights' depends on Ginsburg replacement Progressive group to spend M in ad campaign on Supreme Court vacancy MORE's reelection bid.

“We won’t beat Trump only on the issues; if that were the case, he wouldn’t be president today,” she wrote. “We will beat him by forging an emotional connection with the American people that is more compelling than his. Self-confidence, levity and positivity are exactly what America has lost and needs to regain.”

She said she could sense Warren’s “warmth and kindness” when she met her, but added that the Massachusetts senator "seems to be one of those women ... who are just too damned scared to show the world who we really are.”

“People do not just make an intellectual decision who they’ll vote for,” she wrote. “I hope Elizabeth will let the country see more of who she is, not just hear more of what she’d do.”

Williamson dropped out of the presidential race earlier this month saying her campaign would not be able to earn enough support “to elevate our conversation any more than it is now.”
