Trump said he would take over D.C. if Janeese Lewis George, a self-described democratic socialist, won the upcoming Democratic primary.
Lewis George, who is now poised to become D.C.'s next mayor, said Trump’s comment was an assault on Home Rule:
“Maybe we’ll take back Washington. Run it on a federal basis," he said.
Kenyan McDuffie conceded in D.C.’s mayoral primary Thursday morning, all but ensuring that Janeese Lewis George, a self-described democratic socialist, will serve as the next leader of the nation’s capital.
Votes are still being counted, but Lewis George’s top rival acknowledged her as the winner of the race for the Democratic nomination.
