Spotlight funded

Days before D.C.'s primary elections, President Trump threatened the District over its mayoral race. He said in the Oval Office that if Janeese Lewis George wins, "Maybe we take back Washington."

In this pre-election episode of the Dream City podcast, Cuneyt Dil and Tom Sherwood consider the paths to victory for the two leading candidates--Lewis George and Kenyan McDuffie--and the kind of voters they'll need to turn out.
