Since its election in 2017, prosecutor of the Philadelphia district Larry Krasner He was recognized as one of the most effective and most effective reformers of the country’s criminal justice. But in the last year or so, he took on a new role: as a prosecutor who is ready to push away from extremist policy and the threats of President Trump and his supporters in the most stupid language. And with the most daring legal strategies – so bold now says What his title of DA – which, first of all, calls him the work as a transformation prosecutor of the district, who made Philadelphia a safer and frire -sity – makes a new meaning in the second term of Trump, “and it is a supporter of democracy.”
Where other Democrats are struggling to find out how to respond to Trump and Trump, Krasner gets into a trail that needs, as he refreshes. Moreover, it is a good policy. This was confirmed on Tuesday, when Krasner overcame a significant opposition, from more conservative Democrats and overcoming Republicans to win a primary victory in democratic landslides. The main victory practically assures that Krasner will be re -elected in November. It also confirms that when politics is increasingly nationalized by the so-called “Trump effect”, the Democrats working at the local level enjoy the opposition of the president’s policy-as Krasner did when he promised to use his power as one of the most popular prosecutors of the country to “slow down this manic behavior.”
When he came across a third term, Krasner stated that if he won “Then we are going to save our country. Then we once again beat the haters – make sure these haters lose. Then we will get up the same as we got up in the civil war that we got up in the Second World War, we will get up and we are going to beat them up.
Reference to counting votes reminded of the incident last fall where Krasner Illustrated What exactly a local prosecutor can do to protect democracy.
On the eve of the 2024 presidential election, when officials across the country were concerned about the threats of voting in strongly democratic cities such as Philadelphia, Announced Krasner that he activated the operative group of his office. At a press conference, he said about provocateurs who could try to spoiling the casting or counting of ballots: “Anyone who thinks they are going to play these games in Philadelphia … If you are going to do it in bad faith, there is an election court, there are judges, they have orders, and these orders will be said.”
What Krasner said further to bring home his opinion, caught not only Philadelphia but also the whole country.
“Anyone who thinks it’s time to play the militia, f around and find out. The one who thinks it’s time to insult, free, threaten people and find out,” said Da. “We have cuffs, we have cells in jail, we have jurors, and we have state prisons. So, if you are going to translate the election into some form of coercion when you are going to try to make fun of people, hooligan or voters when you try to wash the votes if you are going to try.
Trump continued to give out false claims As for the voting in Philadelphia, while he and his allies hit Krasner, and some Democrats have unfolded that he chooses the fighting he could regret. Krasner’s critics recruited a high -profile democratic primary contender: Former municipal judge Pat Dugan which provided strong support from the interests of big money- “rich friends from afar”, as Krasner says Welcomed as “A great gentleman and a great judge.” (Republicans even started a company to give a GOP Dugan.)
Krasner did not blink. He was running his record assertion“We led the nation among the big cities in terms of improving public safety last year.” And he ran against Trump.
Last company Krasner ads declared .
For seven years I stood up for Philadelphia: I worked on a lesser crime focused on the prevention of violence, receiving justice for the victims and the accused, made the system of just 50 people (who) were incorrectly convicted, protected by democracies. Some do not like it: Trump and his buddies -mill, shooting groups, lobby weapons, an old system that has denied the justice of people for too long. They can come for the fillets, but I do not retreat. They can f around and learn.
This was enough for voters. Krasner scored Dugan, 64 percent to 36 percent. He transferred the neighborhoods in a multinational, multi -ethnic city and, in the Victory supporters’ speech, greeted the victory as a message for politicians in Colombia that voters want candidates who “intercede for democracy”. He also had a message for Republican Trump: “You continue it, you keep walking, you are going to find out in November!”
