Vice President Kamala Harris frequently touted her prosecutorial bona fides on the campaign trail, probably sensing political peril in boosting her prior support for soft-on-crime policies.
Yet she refused to say how she voted on California’s Proposition 36 to restore tough penalties for drugs and theft, despite its overwhelming backing in public surveys. (The measure sailed through with 70% support — the highest margin for any contested referendum in recent California history.)
Harris hedged because she was stuck between a rock (public opinion) and a hard place (her political benefactors including leftist billionaire George Soros).
The results in prosecutor races across the country — particularly in Harris’ home state and across the battleground states — demonstrate even Democratic voters are done with the soft-on-crime experiment.
The progressive “reform” candidate lost in 13 of last week’s top 25 district-attorney races — even in liberal bastions.
In California, justice reformers were trounced by double digits in three pivotal races even as Harris herself posted huge margins.
