After opponent concedes, setting stage for clashes with Trump, Democratic socialist poised to lead DC

TL;DR

Democratic socialist poised to succeed Bowser as DC mayor after McDuffie concedes Janeese Lewis George, a democratic socialist member of the Washington, D.C. City Council described as "D.C.'s version of [New York City Mayor] Zohran Mamdani," is set to become mayor of the nation's capital after her opponent conceded the race Thursday morning. In a city that leans overwhelmingly left and with no real challengers on the ballot, Lewis George will likely win November's general election for mayor.
