President Trump is calling out Janeese Lewis George, winner of D.C.'s Democratic primary for mayor. Trump attacks her as a "communist" but says he'd meet with her. On the Dream City Podcast, Cuneyt Dil and Tom Sherwood break down whether D.C.’s incoming left can find any workable ground with the White House.

Plus: The next major battle at the Wilson Building will be over taxes. Cuneyt and Tom dig into the pressure to raise new revenue after the city’s budget crunch, what kinds of tax hikes progressives may pursue, and how much room they really have with Congress still looming over D.C. affairs.

The Dream City Podcast holds the powerful accountable and takes you inside D.C.’s business and political worlds. Along the way: Revelatory conversations with city officials, business leaders, and the best-sourced journalists in town. Dream City is supported by SpotlightDC.
