Learning from Harris’s criminal mistakes

Barring a last-second miracle, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon will lose his reelection bid and be knocked out by former federal prosecutor Nate Hochman next month. Hochman is leading Gascon by 30 points in the latest polls.

Perhaps it is too early to celebrate Gascon’s loss, but the incumbent’s deep unpopularity and the widespread rejection of his soft-on-crime policies should serve as a warning not to trust the leading lights of the Democratic Party on crime, most importantly not Vice President Kamala Harris.
