If GOP candidates don't make this issue the heart of their campaigns, they deserve to lose. The increase in crime in cities is directly attributable to the Left implementing their terrible ideas about the justice system. They're responsible for this and the GOP's job is to state it like that, plainly. Millions of suburbanites who voted Democratic last time will switch sides if the GOP is willing to do this. Crime was falling the first part of 2020 before George Floyd and The Madness. Then it spiked and has continued to spike. That isn't because of COVID, and GOP candidates should mock and sneer when Democrats try that gambit.
