Crime on the ballot?

“Crime is an issue that I know you understand and live with within your district; but why is it that so many Democrats seem not have understood the power of that as an issue, as it has come up over the last two to three weeks? When someone is pushed from a subway, in front of a subway train in New York, the resonance is in Cleveland, it’s in Wisconsin, it’s in North Carolina. Why is it that so many Democrats seem not to have recognized that as an issue?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) during a Morning Joe conversation about the Democratic Party’s messaging on the issue of rising crime, with the midterm elections just two weeks away. Listen to Jeffries’ response here.
