State of play: What to know about potential socialist showdown between Trump and DC mayor as votes pour in
Janeese Lewis George, a self-described socialist mayoral candidate in Washington, D.C., leads with 52.6% of the vote as ballots are counted. Donald Trump has threatened a federal takeover of the district if George wins, calling her a 'crazy socialist,' while George labeled Trump's remarks an 'attack on democracy itself.' The race uses ranked-choice voting, which may delay final results.
