Episode Details

Democrats are scrambling to turn lawlessness into a midterm rallying cry, but their own past stances on defunding police are backfiring in key races. In Wisconsin, a progressive gubernatorial candidate faces backlash over her earlier calls to cut police funding, even as she now claims support for maintaining current levels. In New York City, a mayor who once pushed for defunding police has kept his predecessor’s commissioner to appease moderates — angering progressives but aiming to win over business leaders. As national debates on crime and safety intensify, Democrats must carefully manage their messaging to avoid alienating crucial swing voters — especially in cities like Memphis, where residents are weary of being caught in the crossfire of partisan politics.
