J.T. Poston posts a 12 on a single hole at Travelers Championship in stunning meltdown
Golf humbles many, including those who are the best in the world.
Just ask J.T. Poston at the Travelers Championship on Sunday.
What started out as a chance to put a low score on the card at the 13th hole after getting greenside in two shots, Poston, the world No. 32 in the Official World Golf Ranking, posted a 12 in an absolute meltdown that derailed his entire day.

While Poston may not have been in contention, he wasn’t picturing himself at the bottom of the leaderboard by the end of the tournament, but the 12 was the main reason behind finishing 6-over and 1-over on the tournament for 69th place out of the remaining 72 that made the cut.
So, what exactly happened to Poston?
MICROPHONE ENDURES GOLFER SHANE LOWRY'S WRATH DURING MELTDOWN AT US OPEN
Well, the 13th hole began with a perfect tee shot that found the middle of the fairway. Then, his second shot found a greenside bunker, but professionals sometimes don’t mind finding those bunkers because of how great their short game is. A good bunker shot and Poston has a chance at birdie on the par-5.
But things went awry from there, as the bunker shot came out quite short, leaving him with a chipping situation. Again, professionals understand that’s not the end of the world, with a chance at par after a solid chip.
The nightmare was just beginning for Poston, though, as his fourth shot went clear across the green and ended up in the water on the other side.
From there, Poston had to drop not once, but three separate times because he couldn’t get his ball back on the green. On his 10th stroke, he finally got the ball into a putting position.
Poston still had to keep going, putting his 11th stroke and missing it before a tap-in 12 and ending the meltdown in front of the fans.
Poston spoke about the multiple drop balls near the water that continued to roll back into the drink.
"It’s not really rough, where you can kind of blast it out," Poston said, per Golfweek. "It’s into the grain, but it looks like you can get enough golf ball on it, which is why I kept trying to hit a good chip."
Poston was asked if he even thought about putting it out of the greenside rough with his chips clearly not working out.
"I feel like it’s just going to hop and that takes all the speed out of it," he responded. "And you’ve got this big false front you got to get it over. So my worry with trying to putt it was it would not have enough speed to really get there."
Poston didn’t bounce back on the 14th hole either, as he posted a double bogey on the par-4 to put himself down even more. In the end, Poston posted a 76 on the day to finish off his tournament.
Meanwhile, the Travelers Championship will come down to a playoff that must be played on Monday after Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler found themselves deadlocked at 21-under after the latter sank a putt to force it. Hovland's putt to win it all just missed and Scheffler took advantage of the open opportunity.

Scottie Scheffler drains clutch putt to force sudden-death Monday playoff with Viktor Hovland at Travelers
For most professional golfers, a five-month gap between PGA Tour victories barely qualifies as a drought.
For world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, it’s long enough to make people wonder if something is wrong.
The Travelers Championship made that notion look pretty silly, even if Scheffler still has to wait until Monday morning to see if the drought ends.
Scheffler and Viktor Hovland finished regulation tied at 21-under Sunday at TPC River Highlands, setting up a rare Monday playoff at the Travelers Championship after weather and darkness prevented the tournament from being decided before the end of the day.
The playoff is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. ET on the par-4 18th hole. The Travelers Championship playoff format is sudden death, meaning the player with the lower score on a playoff hole wins. If Scheffler and Hovland tie the hole, they keep going until someone finally separates.
For Scheffler, it means the winless streak is not over yet.
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER SAYS BEING THE NO. 1 GOLFER IN THE WORLD IS 'NOT A FULFILLING LIFE'
For Hovland, it means one more chance to take down the best golfer on the planet after refusing to let Scheffler pull away during a tense, rain-delayed final round.
Scheffler entered the Travelers with just one victory in 2026, which came all the way back in January at The American Express. Of course, "just one victory" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
It's not like Scheffler has played poorly this season. Quite the opposite, in fact. The world's top player had eight top-five finishes in his first 13 starts this season, including his win at The American Express and runner-up finishes at the Masters, RBC Heritage and Cadillac Championship. He finished third at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and tied for fourth at the U.S. Open last week.
Now, he has another chance to turn a close call into a trophy.
But he will have to sleep on it first.
Scheffler started the final round one shot behind Hovland after a wild first three days in Connecticut. He opened with a 64, nearly shot a historic 59 on Friday before settling for a 60, then posted a 67 on Saturday that left him in solo second place, one back of Hovland.
From there, it looked like Scheffler had a familiar script in front of him.
The best golfer on the planet had 18 holes to hunt down another trophy.
Instead, Hovland made sure the Travelers Championship would need more than 72 holes.
Scheffler, who rarely needs help from other players, got some early help from Hovland. The Norwegian, who birdied 18 on Saturday to post a 64 and take the lead from Scheffler heading into the final round, made bogey on his first hole Sunday to fall back into a tie with Scheffler.
Scheffler had a ho-hum front nine, making one birdie and one bogey for an even-par 35. Hovland dropped a shot on the front with a 36, which allowed a number of players back into the tournament. Collin Morikawa shot a 61 in the final round, posting the clubhouse lead at 20-under several hours before Scheffler and Hovland finished.
For a while, it looked like Morikawa might be the player Scheffler had to beat.
Then Hovland made his move.
Scheffler made birdies at Nos. 10 and 13 to move to 21-under and take a one-shot lead over Morikawa’s clubhouse number. Hovland, who also made birdie on No. 13, and U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark were still lurking two back, but Scheffler appeared to have control of the tournament when heavy rain started hammering TPC River Highlands and forced a weather delay.
After the delay, Hovland completely reversed the momentum.
He birdied No. 14 to pull within one, then added another birdie at No. 15 to grab a share of the lead. Suddenly, Scheffler was no longer coasting to his 21st PGA Tour victory. He was trying to survive Hovland’s late charge.
Scheffler had his own chance to regain control, but his birdie putt on No. 17 lipped out, leaving the two players tied heading to the 72nd hole.
Both players hit solid approach shots on No. 18, but Scheffler found himself slightly farther away than Hovland. The American gave it too much pace, sending it well past the hole and leaving himself 8 1/2 feet coming back for par.
It wouldn't have mattered if Hovland drained his 25-foot birdie putt, but it just leaked wide of the hole at the end. That meant Scheffler would need to make his putt to send the pair to a playoff.
Is there any doubt what happened next? Scheffler drained the putt, gave an enthusiastic fist pump, and shook Hovland's hand as the two almost certainly exchanged "See ya tomorrows."
It will be the PGA Tour’s first Monday playoff since Rory McIlroy defeated J.J. Spaun in a three-hole aggregate playoff at the 2025 Players Championship last March. This one will be much simpler. Scheffler and Hovland will head back to the 18th hole Monday morning, and the first player to win a playoff hole wins the tournament.
For Scheffler, the situation is familiar in one way and unusual in another.
He has been here before at the Travelers. In 2024, Scheffler defeated his friend Tom Kim in a playoff for his first victory at TPC River Highlands. It only took one hole for Scheffler to beat Kim.
It's a course that has been friendly to Scheffler after a rough start. After missing the cut in his first trip to Connecticut in 2020 and finishing 47th in 2021, he turned the event into one of his best stops on Tour.
Scheffler finished 13th in 2022, fourth in 2023, won in 2024, finished sixth last year and now has another chance to win again in 2026.
Pretty good.
WYNDHAM CLARK HANDLED HIS U.S. OPEN WIN WITH THE PERFECT ATTITUDE TO WIN BACK GOLF FANS
Still, the drought technically continues.
That's the strange thing about Scheffler right now.
His dry spells would be career-best stretches for just about everyone else. He keeps putting himself near the top of leaderboards, keeps piling up top-five finishes and keeps making deep Sunday runs at the biggest events in golf.
But when the bar is this high, close is not enough.
Scheffler came to TPC River Highlands looking like he was ready to end any talk of a dry spell before it got too loud. Instead, Hovland dragged him all the way into Monday.
Now, one more hole, or maybe several, will decide whether Scheffler’s drought finally ends or stretches into another week.
Either way, the larger point is pretty clear.
Win or lose Monday, there is nothing wrong with Scottie Scheffler.
Mamdani claims democratic socialists can win ‘anywhere’ as Democrats feud over party’s future
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Sunday that democratic socialists can win across the country, using an interview with ABC News' Jonathan Karl to defend his influence after candidates he endorsed swept New York Democratic primaries and deepened his party's ideological fight ahead of November.
"I think a democratic socialist can get elected anywhere across this country for any position," Mamdani told Karl.
Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, made the claim on "This Week" after Karl asked whether a democratic socialist could be elected president. The exchange came after Mamdani-backed candidates Brad Lander, Claire Valez and Darializa Avila Chevalier won Democratic congressional primaries in New York, with Lander and Chevalier defeating incumbent Democrats.
"I think we are seeing a hunger that is not just felt by New Yorkers, but, frankly, by Americans from coast to coast for a new kind of politics, one that puts working people at the heart of it," Mamdani said.
LETITIA JAMES FUMES AS MAMDANI-BACKED SOCIALISTS SWEEP NEW YORK PRIMARIES
The mayor rejected warnings from moderate Democrats that socialist wins in New York could hurt the party nationally, arguing that Democrats need a message beyond opposition to President Donald Trump.
"For far too long, all we’ve had to say as a party is opposition to the current administration," Mamdani said. "What do we have to say beyond that?"
Mamdani said the New York results should be viewed as a broader message for Democrats as they look toward the midterms and the 2028 presidential race.
"What these candidates offer is a vision that extends beyond the midterms," Mamdani said. "It extends beyond 2028."
AOC ISSUES WARNING TO HER FELLOW DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENTS IN THE WAKE OF SOCIALISTS WINNING BIG IN NYC
Karl pressed Mamdani on Chevalier, who has faced scrutiny over past statements and posts supporting the abolition of prisons, borders and police. Chevalier's campaign site lists "Abolish ICE" among her priorities.
"I think what the Democratic Party can win on nationally is a focus on working people," Mamdani said. "I think that we can have disagreements on policy positions."
Karl asked whether Democrats could disagree on "something as basic whether or not there should be prisons."
"There are prisons," Mamdani said. "And what we’re also showing in this city is that safety is not something that’s up for debate."
MAMDANI STANDS BY FELLOW SOCIALIST CANDIDATE DESPITE RESURFACED FAR-LEFT, ANTI-AMERICAN POSTS
Mamdani also framed democratic socialism as governing pragmatism, pointing to his administration's record on child care, tenants, potholes and crime.
"I think democratic socialism at the heart is pragmatic, because if we cannot deliver for working people, then what is this for?" Mamdani said.
The NYPD said earlier this month that New York City recorded its fewest murders, shooting incidents and shooting victims for the first five months of any year in recorded history. Mamdani cited those figures during the interview while defending his administration.
"What we’ve delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible," Mamdani said.

The interview came as a group of moderate Democrats promoted a "Promise to America" pledge declaring, "We are capitalist, not socialist." The pledge also says Democrats should support "secure borders," "safe communities," "fiscal discipline" and "persuasion over purity."
Mamdani dismissed the anti-socialist push when Karl raised it.
"I’m not interested in writing a manifesto or, frankly, in reading one," Mamdani said. "I’m interested in delivering."
Karl also pressed Mamdani on Israel, including whether he supports Israel as a Jewish state. Mamdani said he supports Israel as "a state with equal rights," but declined to endorse the Jewish-state framing.
"I think any state that privileges one religion over the other is one that I can’t tell you I support, whether it be Israel or Saudi Arabia or anywhere else," Mamdani said.
Jacob Frey praises Somali community as Minnesota faces renewed scrutiny over fraud investigations
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told members of the city's Somali community over the weekend that they are "our family," pledging solidarity and praising their contributions to the city during remarks celebrating Somali Independence Day.
Frey's remarks came as Minnesota continues to face scrutiny over several high-profile fraud investigations and weeks after a Republican-led House Oversight Committee report alleged the Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's administration failed to act on repeated warnings about widespread fraud in the state's social services programs.
"Through the most difficult of times and through Operation Metro surge, we all saw that they tried to come for some of us," Frey told members of the Somali community on Saturday. "And when that happens, we say that you're coming for all of us."
BLUE STATE’S ANTI-ICE PLEDGE COLLAPSES AS GOP WARNS OF NEW SANCTUARY ‘CONFEDERACY’
"In Minneapolis, we loved our neighbors. In Minneapolis, we do not see you as immigrants. We see you as our family," he added. "You are our brothers. You’re our sisters. You have done so much for this incredible city, and for that, we stand with you."
Frey appeared to reference Operation Metro Surge, the Trump administration's immigration and public safety initiative in Minnesota.
The operation concluded in February after border czar Tom Homan announced it had resulted in the arrest of more than 4,000 people in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and had reduced what he described as public safety threats.
BLUE STATE’S ANTI-ICE PLEDGE COLLAPSES AS GOP WARNS OF NEW SANCTUARY ‘CONFEDERACY’
Frey shared the video on X, writing, "Happy Somali Independence Day."
"Here in Minnesota, home to one of the largest Somali communities in the United States, we celebrate the resilience, culture, and leadership that continue to enrich our city and community," he said.
Earlier this month, a Republican-led House Oversight Committee report alleged Walz's administration repeatedly failed to act on warnings about fraud involving state social services programs, including the Feeding Our Future scandal.
WALZ ADMINISTRATION IGNORED FRAUD WARNINGS AS BILLIONS VANISHED, HOUSE OVERSIGHT REPORT ALLEGES
The committee said more than 110 people have been charged in connection with various fraud schemes in Minnesota, including many defendants identified as members of Minnesota's Somali immigrant community.
The report also alleged concerns about potential racial discrimination claims contributed to delays in addressing suspected fraud and estimated Minnesota lost roughly $300 million in stolen federal child nutrition funds during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Walz administration officials have disputed the committee's findings.

Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss publicly disagrees with Lane Kiffin's claims about racism in Oxford
Lane Kiffin is no stranger to making headlines. The new head coach of the LSU Tigers starts his career in Baton Rouge in just two months' time, but even after his controversial and contentious exit from Ole Miss, he had some bizarre complaints about his time in Oxford.
In an interview with Vanity Fair in May, Kiffin addressed some of his reasons for the move, including the most unexpected one: Black family members being concerned about racism in Mississippi in 2026.
"'Hey, coach, we really like you. But my grandparents aren’t letting me move to Oxford, Mississippi.’ That doesn’t come up when you say Baton Rouge, Louisiana," he said in the interview. "Parents were sitting here this weekend saying the campus’s diversity feels so great: 'It feels like there’s no segregation. And we want that for our kid because that’s the real world.'"
He later added that his remarks about Ole Miss were "factual."

"I just hope [comments] comes across respectful to Ole Miss," he said. "There are some things that I'm saying that are factual, they're not shots."
Unsurprisingly, reactions on social media to Kiffin's claims were not positive. And there were many of them. To the point where Kiffin later apologized, telling On3, "I really apologize if anybody at Ole Miss or in Mississippi was offended by that. In a four-hour interview, I was asked a lot of questions on a lot of things, and Ole Miss has been wonderful to me and to my family.
"I was asked questions about the differences in recruiting, and I said a narrative that we battled there from some out-of-state Black parents and grandparents was not wanting their kid to move to Mississippi. That’s a narrative that coaches have been fighting forever. It wasn’t calculated by bringing it up."
OLE MISS' TRINIDAD CHAMBLISS ELIGIBLE FOR SIXTH COLLEGE SEASON AFTER NCAA'S APPEAL DENIED BY JUDGE
The entire situation was odd and unnecessary, and obviously, it's highly unlikely that Black players and families did not want to go to Oxford, Mississippi in 2026, relative to anywhere else. Not just in the SEC, but across the country.
It's no surprise, then, that one of the most prominent Ole Miss players, quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, has publicly disagreed with Kiffin.
"Me, personally, I don’t agree," said Chambliss, per the Associated Press. "I don’t think that what he said was truthful. ... The Oxford community is nothing but love and they care about their people no matter what they look like: brown, black, purple, yellow — you know what I mean?"
Chambliss also said that "The people in Mississippi and Oxford showed me nothing but love," discussing a visit he made before his decision to transfer to Ole Miss.
"One thing that I can really take away from my visit and the reason why I did commit to Ole Miss is I asked my family what they genuinely thought about the visit, what they thought about the people, if they trusted what they were actually saying, if they’re gonna be true to their word," he added.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
"They said, ‘I feel like this is the right place.’ And my mom’s super religious, too, and she just had a good feeling," he said. "We prayed on it, and that was the main thing. ... So, I felt like Oxford is home and it’s a great place."
That's what made Kiffin's comments so odd; were there players who felt mistreated or the subject of racial discrimination in Oxford, in 2026? Locals, who presumably support the football team, mistreated player families while on recruiting visits to the point where they told Kiffin about it?
And these families, many of whom come from the South, thought that there was a dramatic difference between Oxford and other college towns in the SEC? Bizarre and unrealistic feels like an understatement.
Kiffin has made himself into one of the top coaches in college football, without question. And his ability to build relationships with players and families has made him one of the top recruiters in the sport as well. But it's hard not to feel like those comments were precisely "calculated" in order to put that doubt in some players' or families' minds. Trying to plant the thought that Oxford may be worse for their son or grandson than Baton Rouge. Either way, one of the biggest reasons for Kiffin's success in 2025 has now publicly disagreed with him. That Ole Miss-LSU game in Oxford on Sept. 19 is going to be must-see TV.
Pro-Israel Democrat California state senator heckled at Trans March over Gaza, ‘We f---ing hate you’
California state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, said he was forced to leave San Francisco's Trans March at Dolores Park on Friday after demonstrators confronted him over Israel and Gaza, in a viral episode that unfolded as Pride Weekend began.
The video showed several people surrounding Wiener as he walked through the park, with multiple hecklers shouting profinity-laced messages.
"We f---ing hate you!"
Dimitry Yakoushkin, who posted the clip to X, could be heard criticizing Wiener’s position on the war in Gaza as the Democratic lawmaker moved away from the crowd.
"I think your policy on the genocide is terrible!" Yakoushkin said in the video. "I think you do not belong here!"
As Wiener walked away, Yakoushkin continued to accuse him of betraying the LGBT community because of his stance on Israel and Gaza.
"You’ve been terrible on Gaza! You do not belong here anymore Scott and it breaks my f---ing heart!" Yakoushkin said. "It breaks my heart that someone who wrote good legislation for queers is so f---ing terrible on Gaza!"
Another person in the crowd accused Wiener of forfeiting his place in the LGBT community because of his support for Israel.
"You stopped being queer the moment you started supporting Israel!"
Wiener said he had attended the Trans March every year since the first march in 2004 and was walking through Dolores Park to attend a trans-led Pride Shabbat service when the confrontation unfolded.
"As I walked through Dolores Park to participate in a trans-led Pride Shabbat service in connection with the trans march, a group of people began screaming at me, ran up to me, surrounded me, and began harassing me, both verbally and physically, including physical contact," Wiener said.
Wiener said the group invoked Israel while confronting him.
"They made statements about my ‘Israeli handlers,’ among many other inaccurate, extreme, and vile statements," Wiener said. "They were so physically and verbally aggressive that it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park."
Fox News Digital reached out to Sen. Wiener for further comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
Wiener said the incident marked the first time in 22 years that he did not participate in the Trans March, which began in 2004 and has become one of the largest transgender gatherings in the world.

Rep. Kevin Mullin, D-Calif., said the confrontation went beyond the Bay Area's tradition of political protest.
"Here in the Bay Area we have a long and proud history of heated protest and passionate disagreement; last night was not that," he said.
"There is simply no place for hate speech, harassment, and violence - in our politics or elsewhere. No matter your beliefs, no one should be threatened or intimidated for simply showing up for their community. Elected officials and candidates for office do not lose their right to basic human decency."
California Senate President Pro Tempore Monique Limón also joined Senate Democrats and the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus in condemning the confrontation.
The joint statement said Wiener had spent 16 years in public service in San Francisco and had been "a fearless champion" for LGBTQ Californians.
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie condemned the confrontation and described the language directed at Wiener as antisemitic.
"As mayor, I can never accept hate directed at a member of our community," Lurie said. "This language directed at Senator Wiener yesterday was targeted, hateful and antisemitic."
Wiener finished first in California’s top-two primary for the San Francisco-based 11th Congressional District, the seat held by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Wiener and San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan advanced to the November general election, setting up an all-Democratic race to represent one of the party’s highest-profile House districts.
San Francisco police said five people were arrested in a separate confrontation involving alleged vandalism, obstruction and assault. Police said two officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Nic Nemeth captures TNA World Championship with win over Mike Santana at Slammiversary
Nic Nemeth called his shot and challenged Mike Santana for the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) World Championship at Slammiversary on Sunday – and he did not miss.
It was a classic main event between the two talented wrestlers. Nemeth came into the match looking to knock off Santana, who had been the champion for nearly a year. Nemeth had his brother on his side to help play some mind games during the match.

Ryan Nemeth distracted the referee and got himself ejected almost instantly. It was enough time for Nic Nemeth to knock Santana down with the Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy. Santana was bleeding from the head after the smack.
Nemeth hit Santana with a superkick but Santana countered with Spin the Block. The pin was futile. Nemeth then connected with a few superkicks and a Danger Zone but couldn’t keep Santana down.

But Santana would run out of steam. After kicking out of Nemeth’s latest combination, he fell into Nemeth’s arms. Nemeth hit another Danger Zone and pinned Santana for the win.
It’s the second TNA World Championship reign for Nemeth. His first title reign started at Slammiversary 2024 when he defeated Moose, Josh Alexander, Steve Maclin, Frankie Kazarian and Joe Hendry. Two years later, he’s back on top of TNA.
Now, Nemeth sits on top of the roster as the champion. He’s likely to get a rematch request from Santana with Lockdown a few weeks away.
Trump calls likely DC mayor Janeese Lewis George a 'communist' and vows to block her agenda
President Donald Trump on Sunday called Washington, D.C., council member Janeese Lewis George a "communist" and vowed to block policies he said would undermine public safety and reverse his administration's efforts to reduce crime in the nation's capital.
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump said he plans to meet with Lewis George and argued Washington has become safer under his administration. He also pledged to oppose any agenda he said would weaken immigration enforcement, policing or the city's criminal justice system.
"Janeese Lewis George, the Communist who is almost certainly going to be elected Mayor of Washington, D.C., has stated that she wants to empty the prisons, make D.C. a Sanctuary City, oppose ICE, welcome Criminal Illegal Aliens back into our beloved Capital, resist Anti-Crime Crackdowns, Defund the Police, continue and expand Cashless Bail, and so many other Capital destroying ‘things,’" the president wrote on Truth Social.
SOCIALIST POISED TO LEAD DC AFTER DEM PRIMARY VICTORY, SETTING STAGE FOR CLASHES WITH TRUMP
"In the end, it will never work out, nor will I let it even have a chance because I have worked too hard to make Washington, D.C., the Envy of the World, with almost No Crime, and a Beautification process that has been second to none," Trump continued. "I will meet with Janeese Lewis George, but must forewarn everyone that Washington, D.C., is again a Safe and Prestigious Community.
"Many people, including myself, have worked long and hard to get it there, and we will not let it be destroyed by a Communist adherent who has no intention to, MAKE WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN!" he added.
Lewis George, a self-described Democratic socialist and member of the District of Columbia Council, defeated Kenyan McDuffie and five other candidates in the Democratic mayoral primary earlier this month, positioning her to succeed Mayor Muriel Bowser in a city where Democrats overwhelmingly dominate general elections.
SOCIALIST POISED TO LEAD DC AFTER DEM PRIMARY VICTORY, SETTING STAGE FOR CLASHES WITH TRUMP
Her primary victory sets the stage for a likely clash with Trump, who has made reducing crime in Washington and reshaping the nation's capital a central focus of his second term. The president has maintained a National Guard presence in the city and has repeatedly threatened to end the District's home rule if he believes local leaders fail to keep crime under control.
Lewis George has sharply criticized Trump's deployment of the National Guard and expanded federal law enforcement presence in Washington. Following the president's decision to deploy the Guard last year, she called the move "a direct attack" on the city's residents and accused Trump of weaponizing the Home Rule Act.
During the mayoral campaign, Lewis George argued that "federal troops" and "masked ICE agents" posed a greater threat to young Washington residents than juvenile crime and opposed relying on curfews and federal enforcement, instead advocating expanded youth programs and other community investments.
SOCIALIST POISED TO LEAD DC AFTER DEM PRIMARY VICTORY, SETTING STAGE FOR CLASHES WITH TRUMP
Trump has previously suggested he would consider placing Washington under greater federal control if Lewis George were elected mayor.
"I wouldn’t like it — and maybe we take back Washington, run it on the federal basis," Trump told reporters earlier this month. "We won’t put up with it. We’re not going to lose our businesses."

Former Patriots WR Josh Gordon says Tom Brady made him and other teammates live with him during the offseason
Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady built an NFL dynasty one obsessive habit at a time.
For his receivers, Brady's expectations were no different.
Former Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon recently appeared on a livestream and revealed just how obsessive Brady's preparation really was, saying the quarterback had his receivers move into his house during the offseason for hours of drills.
"He made us live with him in the offseason," Gordon said.
TOM BRADY REVEALS PLAYERS HE WAS 'AFRAID' TO GET HIT BY
"Like train right there, his wife making us food and everything like that. It'd be me, Julian Edelman, and Rob Gronkowski. We would just do the most crazy routine of like standing in one spot and at least 50 times you just catching one specific pass ...
Using some expletives for emphasis, Gordon lauded Brady's obsession.
"Alex Guerrero, his coach, is just holding the gun, like a speedometer for baseball, that was just clocking if it stays at 62 miles per hour… Meanwhile your hands are just f---ing taking a beating… That's about the craziest st... He's obsessive, bro. That's the craziest s--t. When you see how hard people prepare."
ODELL BECKHAM JR LAMENTS GIANTS TRADE: 'I NEVER, EVER WANTED TO LEAVE'
Josh Gordon remains one of the most compelling "what-if" stories in American sports.
Blessed with a rare combination of size and Olympic speed, his 2013 season with the Browns — 1,646 receiving yards in just 14 games — remains one of the greatest displays of raw athletic talent the NFL has ever seen.
His prime, however, was derailed by repeated suspensions under the league's substance abuse policy.
When New England traded for Gordon in 2018, it felt like a final roll of the dice for a player who had burned through every remaining ounce of goodwill in the league.
Brady appeared determined to do what few organizations could: surround the talented wideout with enough structure to finally put it all together. It almost worked.
Gordon caught 40 passes for 737 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games that season, flashing the talent that made him a superstar.
But the demons ultimately won out, leading to another suspension before the Patriots won Super Bowl LIII.
Looking back, it's hard not to wonder what might have been if Gordon's natural gifts had ever fully meshed with Brady's obsessive approach to football.

Cedric Alexander retains the X Division Championship with high IQ steal at TNA Slammiversary
Cedric Alexander’s first Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) X Division Championship defense came at Slammiversary on Sunday night and he had the daunting task of retaining the title in an Ultimate X match.
It was the 55th Ultimate X match in TNA history with Alexander going up against Amazing Red, Frankie Kazarian, Fabian Aichner, Leon Slater, KC Navarro and Mr. Elegance. It was also Red’s first appearance in a TNA ring in about 15 years. To win, the competitor had to climb one of the pillars, shimmy their way on the cables high above the ring and grab the belt.

Alexander, Kazarian, Red and Aichner all tried to go after the belt at the same time. Alexander slipped and took down Aichner. Red and Kazarian both dropped to the mat. It allowed Red and Kazarian to showcase whatever they have left in the tank. Elegance tried to take advantage of everyone being out of the ring, but Navarro shut down his chances.
Red stepped into the ring with Navarro and delivered a Code Red. He then did the same to Kazarian. He tried to go up for the title but Slater caught him.

Slater gained some momentum when he realized his path to get the title was blocked. He hit a double blockbuster to take out Aichner, Elegance, Kazarian and Navarro. He then tried to race Red to the title in the middle of the cable line. Slater had the belt unhooked as he and Red dangled from the wires.
But Alexander came into the ring and stole the belt out of Slater’s hands.
He was determined the winner because neither Slater nor Red touched the mat.
Alexander initially won the X Division Championship from Slater, ending his shot at history. He will keep that belt for the moment.
