Trump attacks DC mayoral nominee Janeese Lewis George online

Trump said he will meet with Janeese Lewis George but warned he will block her agenda, citing her support for sanctuary policies and policing reform.

  • President Donald Trump criticized Democratic mayoral nominee Janeese Lewis George on Sunday, labeling her a "communist" and vowing to meet her while warning he would not let Washington "be destroyed by a Communist adherent."
  • Lewis George secured the Democratic nomination on Tuesday, defeating Kenyan McDuffie by a 54.1% to 35.2% margin, positioning her to succeed outgoing Mayor Muriel Bowser in the heavily Democratic capital.
  • Trump attacked her platform, claiming she wants to "empty the prisons" and "Defund the Police," though Lewis George emphasized she will "work with anyone" while vowing to "stand up to Trump."
  • Threatening federal intervention, Trump suggested he might "take back Washington and run it on a federal basis," while Lewis George labeled such threats "an attack on democracy itself."
  • The online broadside establishes a direct conflict between the White House and the 38-year-old Councilmember, who is all but certain to win November's general election in the nation's capital.
