Trump Teases Federal Takeover of D.C. if Socialist Candidate Wins

“We won’t put up with it

We’re not going to lose our businesses,” the president added.

Trump did not mention George by name, but his comments appeared directed at the D.C. councilmember, who has emerged as the leading candidate in the race to succeed outgoing Mayor Muriel Bowser.

Recent polling shows George holding a double-digit lead over former D.C. Council member Kenyan McDuffie ahead of the June 16 Democratic primary.
