👋 Cuneyt here, Tom and I are back. Mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George is off to the races, and with so many open D.C. Council seats (see: Anita Bonds retiring), progressives hope that 2026 will be their big year in local politics. Cuneyt and Tom talk about the direction of the city.
Speaking of the future, I report that Waymo is way behind on its D.C. rollout, thanks to a delayed DDOT study and bureaucracy standing in the way. The robotaxi future is on hold. (See my full Axios D.C. story.)
And we check in on Trump the DMV Mayor — his latest local construction projects. Trump picked a new architect for the White House ballroom, and now he wants to re-do Dulles Airport.
