Trump warns of federal takeover of DC if Lewis George wins mayor

President Trump said the federal government could take back Washington, D.C. and run it on a federal basis if Janeese Lewis George wins the mayor’s race, a stance tied to his view on home rule. Lewis George and supporters condemned the threat as an attack on democracy, while rivals noted that Congress would have to approve any changes; the seven-candidate race is ongoing with early voting ending soon and Election Day on June 16.
