Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York said there is a fight between the Left and the far left in Democratic stronghold cities, pointing to the Washington, D.C., mayoral race as an example.
“I think this is something we’ve seen in some one-party jurisdictions of late. So among Democrats, the fight is between the Left and the far Left,” York said on Fox & Friends Tuesday.
There are five candidates running in Tuesday’s D.C. mayoral race, including Kenyan McDuffie, Janeese Lewis George, Rini Sampath, Gary Goodweather, and Ernest Johnson.
York called out George as a “far Left,” and said she is leading in the race.
“What you’re seeing now is Janeese Lewis George, whose idea of affordability is more rent control, who advocates taxpayer-paid, quote-free child care, leading in this race to support Mayor Muriel Bowser, who seems kind of centrist in all of this,” York said.
