Republicans are licking their chops on the possibility that Senate Democrats Washington, DC, will vote to block the federalization of President Trump of Police Force, who gives their opponents a chance to tag their opponents as soft on crime.
Democrats are angry at Trump’s move, aligning with the President to see what the ruling impulses see. Democrats also widely return to the Home Rule Act, which gives DC a form of self-rule to the local government.
But due to the attack by Trump and other Republicans from voting against an extension, Democrats are definitely looking away from the problem of crime in cities – which are usually led by Democratic mayors.
Matt Gordeman, a GOP strategist, said, “I am dull on how to sprint in another trap set by Democrat Trump. This is very clear and yet they cannot help themselves.” “Democrats have preferred to study and quote charts and academics that they are feeling what they are feeling and opposite with Republican action, and action is going to win every time.”
Democrats do not seem to all those who are concerned about walking in a trap by voting against Trump’s power on DC police.
Senate Minority Leader Chak Shumar (DN.Y.) Said in an interview On Wednesday, when an extension was asked.
“We will fight him with teeth and nails. … He needs to get the Congress to approve it, and not only we are not going to approve it, but there are some Republicans who do not like it,” Shumor said.
Republicans will require at least seven democrats in the Senate, which will be with votes to increase power.
Whether the measures to expand the pass or fail, many Republicans are eager for votes, assuming that it will be a backfire on the Democrat.
But Democrats say that there are many reasons that votes will not be difficult for their side.
Democratic operative Andrew Mamo said, “I don’t think it’s hard on an issue – until you start saying, ‘crime is bad and we need to do more to stop crime,” Andrew Mamo, a Democratic operative.
“Smart Democrats are starting from there and then establishing credibility in [how] This is the wrong way to do this, “Mamo said.” We should not stop the National Guard randomly on the roads. We should fund our police departments and do all the investments that we know that we need to protect communities. ,
“The trap occurs when you do not start by saying that crime is bad, and you try to say,” In fact, there is no problem here. In fact, people are not worried, “and you do the same kind of understanding that we failed on the previous cycle,” Mamo continued. “Then you can tie yourself into lumps. But it should not be difficult for any Democrat to say, ‘Crime is bad and we need to do more to prevent crime. ”
Others say that most voters do not focus on votes related to local issues only in Washington, DC
“Most Americans across the country do not feel any connection with the capital of the country-and many do not remember that beyond the government’s seat, more than a million citizens call the district house,” John Labombard said, a democratic operative operative and former sensor at the rock solutions (D-MO) and the field (I).
“This dynamic prevents many everyday Americans from working about a federal acquisition of policing in DC – but perhaps the MPs will help mold criticism that vote against extended federal control.”
Voting suggests a large health of DC residents – a heavy democratic area – belief that crime is a very or very serious problem.
according to a Washington’s post -school pole Taken in May, 50 percent of the respondents saw the crime as a very or very serious problem, below 65 percent, who did so two years ago when murders and violent crimes were at their recent top.
“Any crime that thinks is no problem in DC, he is burying his head in the sand and suffering from the serious Trump Derarangment syndrome,” Jesse Hunt said, a GOP operative who previously served as Director of Communications for the National Republican Senator Committee.
“The big problem that the Democrats has, is that … crime, karjaking, magging, threats of violence, attacks – while not murder – is still spreading in professional areas. Come on, let’s be real, no one is real, no one is to watch a game to pay a game to pay one hand and one leg when they are not themselves and their children.”
Shumor has argued that Trump’s push to handle policing in Washington, DC, intended to distract from calls to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous financers who died of federal testing on allegations of sex trafficing.
“This is, again, just a distraction. He is afraid of Epstein,” Shumor continued. “He is afraid of all that, and we are not going to give up Epstein as defeat.”
The issue of crime in DC has been a problem for Democrats in the past.
Former President Biden had blocked a crime bill two years ago, the DC City Council tried to cord the concerns, citing concerns that it would scrap some compulsory minimum sentences other than other things. This criticized that Biden DC was stepping on the home rule.
Trump said on Wednesday that he was demanding a “long -term expansion” of the metropolitan police department (MPD) federalization. He also argued that he could expand the period through the National Emergency Declaration.
Trump told reporters at the Kennedy Center, “But we expect to be very early in front of the Congress. And then, we feel that Democrats will do nothing to stop the crime, but we feel that Republicans will do it unanimously.” “So we need a crime bill. That we are going to insert, and it is initially related to DC, we are going to use it as a very positive example”
“You can’t have 30 days,” he said. “We’re going to do it very hurry, but we want extensions. I don’t want to call a national emergency, but if I have to do, I will.”
