Did the president just help the Janeese Lewis George campaign for DC mayor?
President Donald Trump threatened to take over Washington, D.C., if Janeese Lewis George wins the mayoral race, potentially boosting her campaign by drawing attention to her candidacy. A Washington Post poll shows Lewis George leading, and political analysis suggests Trump's comments might encourage voters who dislike him to support her. The Janeese Lewis George campaign has also linked her rival, Kenyan McDuffie, to Trump through campaign donations.
