D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser described her two challengers in the June Democratic primary as “equivocating and waffling” as she sought to portray herself as a proven leader deserving of a third term in office.

D.C. Council member Robert C. White Jr. said he opposes the construction of a new professional football stadium in the District and supports. Bowser and council member Trayon White Sr. both said they supported bringing the Washington Commanders to the RFK Stadium site, and opposed Initiative 82.

On policing, Bowser maintained her push for a larger police force while Robert White and Trayon White maintained their hesitance to hire more officers instead of diverting funds to non-police alternatives. The council members differed on the question of police in schools, however, with Trayon White agreeing with Bowser that the city should restore the funding it cut for officers in school buildings.“This generation has become more violent. Let’s be honest,” Trayon White said.

At times, the exchanges among the three candidates became sharp, particularly when Bowser characterized her opponents as less qualified for the job that she has held for two terms. When Robert White and Trayon White criticized Bowser’s approach to encampments, saying they would not impose a deadline for homeless people to leave certain locations but would instead work to make sure people get housing, Bowser replied, “What I heard is that the council members would do nothing.” She touted her successes in reducing homelessness in the District and said her practice of forcibly clearing encampments after offering housing to people staying there is necessary.
