Janeese Lewis George Wins D.C. Mayor Race

Janeese Lewis George Wins D.C. Mayor Race

Published 1 day, 8 hours ago
Description

Kenyan McDuffie has conceded the D.C. mayor’s Democratic primary to Janeese Lewis George, who’s poised to face off in November’s general election after leading with nearly 53% of the vote. Lewis George, a 38-year-old democratic socialist council member, vows to defend D.C.’s autonomy against federal overreach — a stance that puts her directly at odds with President Trump, who has threatened to dismantle the city’s home rule. Her win would mark a historic shift, replacing long-serving Mayor Muriel Bowser and setting the stage for a high-stakes battle over local governance.
