'I'ma die a proud Nazi'

Janeese Lewis George, a self-described democratic socialist and Howard University Law School graduate, has been elected as the Democratic nominee for mayor of Washington, D.C., by an overwhelming margin.

Lewis George, a current member of the city council, amassed 52% of the vote in a race against former Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie and federal contractor Rini Sampath.

D.C. is one of the most Democrat-heavy cities in America, with only 7% of the city’s vote going to President Donald Trump in 2024. This electoral mismatch will likely ease Lewis George’s path to victory.

If elected, Lewis George, who has been endorsed by the city’s chapter of Democratic Socialists of America, would become the first openly socialist mayor of Washington, D.C.

Anti-Trump Crusade

During her campaign, Lewis George ran on a platform of opposing President Donald Trump’s agenda. While all three candidates ran on similar policy platforms, Lewis George continues to be adamant about opposing Trump’s ambitions for D.C.

Current Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser had welcomed President Donald Trump’s deployment of U.S. National Guard troops in his effort to decriminalize America.

“We are not going to get ICE off our streets by fearing this president,” Lewis George said last week. “We are not going to protect our rights or Home Rule by obeying in advance.”

Among Washington’s residents, the move to mobilize military forces was highly unpopular, despite contributing to the city’s dramatic drop in crime.

During the campaign, Lewis George also focused on expanding a childcare subsidy.

However, despite Lewis George’s momentum, her campaign has not been free of obstacles.

On Friday, the Office of Campaign Finance said Lewis George’s campaign “violated multiple provisions of District campaign finance law and the Fair Elections Program.”

“As a result, the Committee was assessed $16,000 in civil penalties. Additionally, Safe & Affordable DC, an independent expenditure committee, was found in violation of campaign finance law and was assessed a $4,000 civil penalty. The findings were issued in a Final Order dated June 12, 2026,” the office wrote in a statement.

In a statement to WTTG in Washington, Lewis George’s campaign said it would appeal the “reckless” order, saying it was “riddled with factual errors” and “violates procedural requirements that govern its investigations and other enforcement actions.”

Trump Threatens to Act

Last week, Trump threatened that the federal government could “take back” Washington, D.C., depending on the results of the election.

“Well, I wouldn’t like it, and maybe we’d take back Washington and run it on the federal basis,” Trump said. “We won’t put up with it. We’re not going to lose our businesses. By the way, Washington, now, is a safe, beautiful place.” 

President Richard Nixon signed the Home Rule Act in 1973, giving D.C.’s population the ability to elect its local leaders, but Congress still retains significant control over local affairs. A revocation of the agreement would require congressional approval. Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution gives Congress, not the president, local powers in D.C.

Trump has used similar rhetoric in the past about D.C. home rule.

“Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the world to see,” Trump wrote online in August 2025, after an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency was attacked during an attempted carjacking. “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take federal control of the city, and run this city how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore.”

While Trump looms over the race, he’s only one of the issues the next mayor will have to address. The district has faced years of fiscal challenges and public safety concerns that remain on the minds of many voters ahead of the election.

Multiple environmental organizations, activists, and climate scientists have warned that the 2026 FIFA World Cup could potentially be the most polluting sporting event in the history of humanity — a concern that attracted more attention on Tuesday as FIFA confirmed its president, Gianni Infantino, would be flying often to attend as many soccer games as possible.
