Democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George is slated to be the next mayor of Washington DC after her opponent conceded on Thursday.
Lewis George, a city council member, ran on a platform of expanding childcare, education and housing, and revoking the district’s cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
In the city’s first ranked-choice voting election, she succeeded in securing the Democratic nomination in a party stronghold, fending off another former city council member, Kenyan McDuffie.
McDuffie had run a campaign more focused on public safety and local businesses. Now, Lewis George will be on the ballot in November’s general election, where she will likely run unopposed.
“Earlier this morning, I called Councilmember Janeese Lewis George to congratulate her on her victory and wish her success as she prepares for the general election,” McDuffie said in a statement.
Donald Trump loomed large over Washington’s primary elections, including threatening to expand federal control over the city if Lewis George won. In the past year, the president has deployed the national guard in the city, and supported widespread immigration enforcement.
The city is also still reeling from blows to the federal work force after the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” slashed entire agencies last year. DC unemployment remains among the highest in the nation.

Dems keep going from bad to worse. basically they are electing outright communists.
The National Socialist Democrat Workers Party gaining ground
Well, the residents of the District Of Corruption made their bed, now they can sleep in it.
We need to go full Pinochet before it’s too late.
Once Trump is gone and the anti everything Trump Dems will look back at the mess their TDS created and wonder what they have done to themselves.
And we all know what happened in Germany when they put national socialists in power.
Thankfully, the wrong country for that.
No one is stopping them. Certainly not conservatives, many of whom hate when things get “messy”.
Trump will have to get Congress to repeal The District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973 a Nixon-era bill. Something that should be done but won’t!
The DC area will be destroyed with a new Dem POTUS. The next Dem go around they will remove any and all remnants of American history that can be destroyed.
How are these scumbags even allowed to run? None of them can take an oath to the Constitution, because their ideologies are a direct threat to the American ideology and to the Constitution.
Uh-huh
One loser after another...
....”Lewis George, a city council member, ran on a platform of expanding childcare, education and housing, and revoking the district’s cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.”
Wow...just what DeeCee needs...a mayor who VOWS to end her district’s cooperation with the Feds...
Yuri Bezmenof warned us in the 80s, McCarthy in the 50s. Too few heeded them.
“Do not mention the war!”
>>Dems keep going from bad to worse. basically they are electing outright communists.
The Rats alwsys elected outright commies, The only change now is that they just used to deny it.
Oh good...I was so worried they couldn’t find a big fat black woman.
