Leading Off
●Washington, D.C. Mayor: Two members of the Council of the District of Columbia, Robert White and Trayon White, each said Wednesday that they would run for mayor next year against Mayor Muriel Bowser, a fellow Democrat who the Washington Post says is expected to run for a third term.
Of the two challengers (who do not appear to be related), Robert White appears to start out with considerably broader appeal than Trayon White, who made national news in 2018 when he launched an antisemitic rant accusing the Rothschild family of controlling the weather. It only takes a plurality to win the June Democratic primary in D.C., which is tantamount to election in what has long been one of the bluest jurisdictions in the entire country.
