DA Race: Krasner Touts Low Murder Rate & Compares Opponent to Trump

For our Wednesday politics episode, District Attorney Larry Krasner visits City Cast Philly to make his case for why he deserves a third term as the city’s chief prosecutor. He touts the lowest murder rate in a half-century, compares his opponent to Donald Trump, tells his side of why there hasn’t been a debate in the race, talks about the Eagles’ visit to the White House, discusses the role of George Soros’ money in his campaigns, analyzes the mayor’s “work-in-progress” plan in Kensington, and defends himself from criticism that he doesn’t work well with other elements of law enforcement. His opponent, former Judge Pat Dugan – who rejects any comparison to Trump, by the way – will be on the show next Wednesday, May 7, so stay tuned. The Democratic primary election for district attorney is May 20.
