The Center Square, Breitbart News and Fox News report that Democratic Socialists Nithya Raman and Janeese Lewis George won Tuesday’s mayoral elections in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Raman beat incumbent Karen Bass, according to Breitbart, which cites AFP. Fox News reports that Raman will take office in December for Los Angeles’s roughly 4 million residents, and that Lewis George won a city of roughly 700,000. With the wins, the outlets say four of the 20 most populous U.S. cities now have socialist mayors, together home to about 14 million people. Asked about the results, President Donald Trump said “it’s going to be a disaster,” according to The Center Square.
