Janeese Lewis George took an early and significant lead in the District of Columbia\u2019s bitterly contested Democratic mayoral primary Tuesday night, coming one step closer to a progressive takeover of the city\u2019s top office as it faces significant challenges from a floundering economy and increasingly aggressive Republican interference from the White House and Congress.<\/p>\n

Lewis George, a two-term D.C. Council member for Ward 4 and a self-identified democratic socialist, claimed 53% of the votes to 37% for Kenyan McDuffie, her main competitor, according to an initial tally released by the D.C. Board of Elections of in-person votes from Election Day and a weeklong early-voting period, as well as mail ballots received before Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Five other mayoral contenders \u2014 Vincent Orange, Gary Goodweather, Rini Sampath, Hope Solomon and Ernest Johnson \u2014 trailed further behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my god,\u201d she said to a crowd of cheering supporters at a victory party at the Howard Theatre in Shaw. \u201cIf there ever was any doubt, let it now be laid to rest. It is the people of D.C. who elect the mayor of D.C. What seemed like a distant dream is history unfolding before our eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lewis George did not go as far as claiming victory, largely because the race will remain undecided for at least a few more days as the board continues to count what\u2019s expected to be tens of thousands of mail ballots that arrived on Election Day. Once those ballots are processed, multiple rounds of tabulation under the city\u2019s new system of ranked-choice voting will occur, potentially reshuffling some of the final results.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Still, her showing was impressive, winning seven of D.C.\u2019s eight wards and coming within three percentage points of McDuffie in Ward 3, where centrist and business-friendly mayoral candidates have often racked up votes.<\/p>\n

Even supporters of McDuffie seemed resigned to Lewis George eventually being declared victor.<\/p>\n

\u201cGame over. He needs to win nearly 70% of what\u2019s left,\u201d texted Chuck Thies, a longtime political operator and analyst in D.C., following the release of the results just before midnight. He added a qualifier to his analysis: \u201cRough math, been drinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Results in other races seemed closer to being settled. In the race to succeed retiring Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton as the city\u2019s nonvoting representative in the U.S. House, Council member Robert White took a commanding lead over Ward 2 Council member Brooke Pinto, 63 to 22. And in a special election for an independent At-Large seat on the Council, former lawmaker Elissa Silverman seemed on the cusp of a comeback, taking 55% of the vote against incumbent Council member Doni Crawford.<\/p>\n

Zachary Parker (Ward 5) and Charles Allen (Ward 6) similarly jumped ahead of their respective challengers, while D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson, Ward 3 Council member Matt Frumin and Attorney General Brian Schwalb faced no challengers at all. In Ward 1, democratic socialist Aparna Raj was leading her four challengers. In a crowded race for an At-Large seat, Oye Owolewa led his eight competitors.<\/p>\n

The mayoral contest was the marquee race this year, setting two former Council colleagues from different wings of the Democratic Party against each other in the first open fight for the city\u2019s top job in 12 years. Retiring Mayor Muriel Bowser represented a steady-if-centrist brand of liberal leadership, one that McDuffie seemed eager to inherit. Lewis George, on the other hand, promised more sweeping changes \u2014 some of which critics derided as too expensive, others as too likely to anger President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The specter of Trump hovered above the campaign through to Election Day. His threats to \u201ctake back Washington\u201d \u2014 made during a freewheeling press conference<\/u><\/span> in the Oval Office five days before the primary \u2014 resonated with voters who cast ballots on Tuesday, with some saying it steeled their resolve to vote for one candidate and others admitting it remained in the back of their minds as they made their final decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI voted for Janeese,\u201d said Ward 4 resident and charter school teacher Cosby Hunt as he left the Chevy Chase Community Center, where he voted early on Tuesday. \u201cWhen Trump says, \u2018If this person\u2019s the mayor, I\u2019m going to take over the city,\u2019 it kind of makes me want to say, \u2018OK, bring it.\u2019 I\u2019m not going to be bullied.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was the same sentiment shared by Lewis George herself, who appeared emboldened by Trump\u2019s brief interjection in the city\u2019s mayoral race.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president saying he would revoke home rule based on his opinion of who he wants voters to elect, to me, is an attack on democracy,\u201d she said while speaking to campaign volunteers Tuesday morning. \u201cThe people of D.C. want a mayor who will stand up to Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Trump\u2019s comments played differently among McDuffie\u2019s supporters. While his campaign issued a brief statement<\/u><\/span> agreeing that D.C.\u2019s mayoral election would be decided by residents, sources close to the campaign also quietly said that what Trump said was what they had been trying to communicate themselves: Lewis George would be too risky for D.C.<\/p>\n

And that possibility weighed on the mind of Ward 3 voter Mariah Litowitz as she cast her own ballot on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s really terrifying, but that\u2019s also the risk of being in D.C. and not having statehood. Part of me was like, \u2018Do you vote for that person because you know they\u2019ll get under Trump\u2019s skin? Or, do you not vote for that person because it might impact the autonomy of the city?\u2019\u201d said Litowitz, who declined to say who she voted for. \u201cIt was in the back of my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Closing Arguments<\/b><\/h2>\n

When McDuffie arrived at the Turkey Thicket Recreation Center on Tuesday morning to cast his ballot, he was flanked by his wife and oldest daughter. \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure that I got at least three votes in this election,\u201d he told reporters with a laugh.<\/p>\n

But when pressed on recent polling that found him trailing Lewis George, McDuffie dismissed the numbers with a reminder of his political track record \u2014 including his successful council races in 2012 and 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m extraordinarily confident, because people have counted me out my entire life,\u201d he said. \u201cI am confident the voters of Washington, D.C., will vote for experience; somebody who\u2019s going to deliver results \u2014 they\u2019re going to vote for the best-qualified candidate in this race.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

By late morning, McDuffie and a crowd of supporters rolled into the parking lot of the Hillcrest Recreation Center. Shortly afterward, Lewis George and her contingent arrived to set up on the opposite side.<\/p>\n

After the two candidates shook hands, the asphalt briefly transformed into an energetic turf war.<\/p>\n

\u201cJ-L-G!\u201d Lewis George\u2019s campaign chanted, dancing along to a portable speaker. As McDuffie\u2019s team countered with its own chant, a large truck wrapped with his face arrived, blaring over a megaphone: \u201cVote for experience \u2014 Kenyan McDuffie; number one on the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n

That experience was a deciding factor for Gene Sofer, a retired Ward 3 resident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI voted for McDuffie. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m as liberal as [Janeese] is. I think a lot of what she promises she can\u2019t deliver. The city has no money, the city is beholden to Congress,\u201d Sofer said, before referencing McDuffie\u2019s 13 years on the D.C. Council. \u201cI believe that McDuffie is a workhorse, not a showhorse.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the experience argument cut differently for Denise Dunovant, a longtime Ward 7 voter who cast her ballot at the Benning Stoddert Recreation Center along East Capitol Street. \u201cShe\u2019s new blood,\u201d she said of Lewis George, adding that she believed the Ward 4 lawmaker would do more to make D.C. a more affordable place to live.<\/p>\n

Impact of Ranked-Choice Voting<\/b><\/h2>\n

At Ward 6\u2019s Eastern Market polling place, the pre-work rush to the ballot box was more of a slow trickle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is definitely a neighborhood that does vote early and by mail,\u201d said Lisa Raymond, a Democrat running in the crowded at-large primary race to replace retiring Council member Anita Bonds. \u201cI did my final door knock in the neighborhood [last night] and almost everyone that I talked to, I\u2019d say 90%, had already voted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raymond said ranked-choice voting, which D.C. is debuting this year, has confused constituents she\u2019s spoken to, particularly seniors.<\/p>\n

Chris Astilla, a 49-year-old music teacher living in Ward 6, also didn\u2019t take well to the new system. Confused, he wound up only voting for his first choices: McDuffie for mayor, Pinto for congressional delegate and Charles Allen for Ward 6 Council member.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mindset is if you want that person, that\u2019s who you support,\u201d said Astilla.<\/p>\n

Others liked the new system. Annie Hall, a 29-year-old lecturer at American University, felt free to cast her vote for less-popular candidates without feeling like it was a waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt a little bit more comfortable actually going for a candidate that I [think] will spice things up a bit, even if they\u2019re not the selected one, because of how it shakes out in the primary,\u201d said Hall, who ranked long-shot candidates Hope Solomon first for mayor and Greg Jaczko for congressional delegate.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Vernon Roe, a 46-year-old Anacostia native, and Lionel Battle, a 61-year-old Washington native, both said they didn\u2019t care much for the city\u2019s new ranked-choice voting system. The two men \u2014 who completed their ballots from inside a car with assistance from poll workers outside the Arthur Capper Community Center in Ward 8, because Battle is blind \u2014 said they did not fully understand it.<\/p>\n

After a sleepy morning with remarkably light turnout, a surge of evening commuters caused long lines at vote centers just an hour before polls closed. The evening bottleneck at locations like Eastern Market, Woodridge Library<\/u><\/span> and Marie Reed Elementary School was compounded by technical glitches and the new ballot format.<\/p>\n

Sarah Graham, a spokesperson for the D.C. Board of Elections, noted that ranked-choice voting contributed to the delays. In addition, paper ballot printers broke down at multiple locations \u2014 forcing voters to use electronic machines.<\/p>\n

Waiting Game<\/b><\/h2>\n

McDuffie\u2019s supporters piled into The Park on 14th Street Tuesday evening, waiting in anticipation of Tuesday\u2019s results. As the evening wore on, the large crowd who packed inside the popular club to see him appeared to grow restless.<\/p>\n

McDuffie took the stage just before 10 p.m. He urged those in attendance to trust in the electoral process, even if final results arrived later than they desired.<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight, the votes are being counted \u2014 and ranked choice votes and ballots are being tabulated as we speak. The reality is, it\u2019s going to be a while before we know the results of this election,\u201d McDuffie said, spurring a groan from the crowd. \u201cI know you don\u2019t love that, it\u2019s going to be a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the uncertainty, McDuffie\u2019s team cranked up the music as soon as he completed his remarks, and the party continued. The vibe remained hopeful. On the club\u2019s television, \u201cSeinfeld\u201d played, with the local news stations having moved on from their election results coverage.<\/p>\n
