Trump labeled her a &#8220;communist&#8221; and criticized her plans to implement policies such as prison closures, making D.C. a Sanctuary City, opposing ICE, defunding the police, and expanding cashless bail. Lewis George, associated with the Democratic Socialists of America, is a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-backward-leftist-view-of-education\/\" title=\"The Backward Leftist View of Education\">progressive reformer<\/a> advocating government action<\/a> on housing costs. She leads in the primary against her centrist opponent. Trump expressed intentions to potentially take back control of Washington and run it federally if she wins. The current mayor, Muriel Bowser, has cooperated with the Trump governance on some initiatives. Trump criticized Lewis George\u2019s plans and highlighted ongoing beautification projects in the city. As Democrats dominate local politics, Lewis George is likely to become the next mayor, possibly the first socialist to hold that position in Washington, D.C.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n
