'Vulnerable Democrats would benefit greatly from the chance to win over decisive 2022 swing voters by touting a police funding package.' More from danschnur in our Perspectives section:
Two summers ago, in the aftermath of the tragic deaths of George Floyd and Breanna Taylor, a series of peaceful protests and less-peaceful riots gave birth to the “Defund the Police” rallying cry. Since then, Republicans have worked earnestly to affix that slogan to every Democratic candidate, and most Democrats have worked just as tirelessly to distance themselves from it.
Their assumptions were wrong. As the week progressed, it became clear that serious opposition to the funding legislation had formed, and that the Progressive Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus both had serious problems with the bill. While the Black Caucus ultimately resolved most of their concerns by negotiating accountability provisions into the bills, the delay allowed progressives to marshal their resources to derail the legislation.
Many of the Democrats’ most vulnerable candidates would benefit greatly from the ability to tout a police funding package to the swing voters who will decide their re-election campaign.
All of this takes place on a political landscape where Republicans are heavily favored to regain control of the House in November, so it’s possible that the outcome of this debate may have more to do with the size of the GOP majority rather than whether Democrats can maintain their excruciatingly slim margin.
