“President Joe Biden’s decision Thursday on a local crime law is sending a national message to fellow Democrats about how he thinks they should address Republican criticism of the nation’s rising crime rates,” NBC News reports.
“Democrats have predominantly focused on police reform since the George Floyd protests reignited a national debate over race and law enforcement three years ago, but rising violent crime rates and growing perceptions of unease in major cities has prompted a chorus of party strategists and officials to call for a tougher approach to counter Republican attacks.”
