DC delegate candidate Robert White Jr. announces Defend DC campaign to counter federal intervention

Robert White Jr., the Democratic nominee for D.C.'s nonvoting delegate to Congress, announced the "Defend DC" mobilization effort to canvass against federal lawmakers who have challenged the city's autonomy. The plan targets House districts in nearby states whose members supported Trump's deployment of federal agents and National Guard to Washington. The first target is Rep. John McGuire of Virginia, who introduced legislation codifying Trump's executive order on the district.
