Democratic socialists who are gaining power in large cities notched another major win this week, with Janeese Lewis George heavily favored to become the next mayor of the nation’s capital.
Lewis George defeated a more moderate candidate in the Democratic primary for D.C. mayor, which is tantamount to the general election in a deep-blue city. She would join other recently elected city leaders aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America, including New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, both of whom took office this year.
