Donald Trump, criticism directed at Janeese Lewis George, a favorite for the Washington mayoralty: "We will not let the city be destroyed by a communist who has no intention of making Washington great again"

President Donald Trump launched a political attack against Janeese Lewis George, the favorite candidate for the mayor of Washington, whom he labeled as a "communist."

In a message posted on Truth Social, Trump warned that her victory could affect the safety of the American capital, accusing her of promoting policies that could lead to the "destruction" of the city. He mentioned that Janeese Lewis George wants to empty the prisons, turn Washington into a "sanctuary city," and reduce police funding. Trump emphasized that he will not allow these policies to affect the city he described as the "envy of the world."

Janeese Lewis George, who won the Democratic primary elections, is supported by the Democratic Socialists of America, and is likely to be elected mayor of Washington in the upcoming elections in November.
