Trump slams DC mayoral hopeful as communist, vows to block her agenda

President Trump labeled DC council member Janeese Lewis George a 'communist' and pledged to block her progressive agenda as she nears becoming Washington, D.C.'s next mayor, arguing her platform—ending police cooperation with ICE, opposing curfews, and expanding public services like free buses and universal childcare—would threaten public safety and federal control. Lewis George, a Democratic socialist, won the Democratic primary and is poised to take office, setting up a clash with Trump over city policy and federal intervention.
