President Donald Trump on Thursday vowed to exert federal control over Washington, D.C., again if Councilwoman Janeese Lewis George wins the primary election next week and the general election in November.

Lewis George, a self-described socialist, is one of many candidates running in the Democratic primary on June 16. A reporter compared Lewis George to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, another socialist, in asking the president for his thoughts on her.
