Further south and down the ballot, the Republican State Leadership Committee rolled out a wave of digital ads in Virginia hitting Democrats over opposing legislation that would charge drug dealers with homicide. And former President Trump, who\u2019s running for another White House bid in 2024, has repeatedly hammered President Biden on the issue.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The efforts come as the party looks to regain ground following the GOP\u2019s dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointing midterm elections last year. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the GOP <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly underperformed in 2022, Republicans point to New York where the party made inroads focusing on crime as a top issue. Republicans in the Empire State picked up three House seats, including the one held by then-Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Sean Patrick Maloney (N.Y.). And despite ultimately losing to Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), then-GOP gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin performed better than expected against the governor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLee Zeldin ran a one-issue campaign on the issue of crime,\u201d said one House Republican strategist. \u201cEvery day he was at a metro stop or a corner store where somebody got shot or mugged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just a great case study in how effective the message can be,\u201d the strategist added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And Democrats say they too are keenly aware of the potency of the issue going into the next election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats have learned that they need to take that issue very seriously and I hope, get ahead of it,\u201d said Jon Reinish, a New York-based Democratic strategist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Corey Grable, an Independent who is running for president of New York City\u2019s Police Benevolent Association, told HillTV that policies promoted by the left flank of the Democratic Party, including calls to defund the police, have put the party on the wrong side of the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as the Democrats, I think that unfortunately, they\u2019ve gotten out on the wrong side of the issue,\u201d Grable said. \u201cThe reality is many of the policies that have been created have actually had this unintended consequence of actually hurting people that they were aiming to protect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And Republicans have used crime to tie the majority of Democratic candidates to the left-leaning flank.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the clearest and easiest way for Republicans to tag Democrats to the fringe of the party,\u201d said the House Republican strategist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Democrats have employed a tougher-on-crime message in recent years while also acknowledging police brutality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In his State of the Union address earlier this month, President Biden expressed support for police officers but noted the death of Tyre Nichols, an unarmed Black man who died in police custody last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Incumbent Democratic mayors, including Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who is running for reelection and is against defunding the police, also find themselves under pressure on the issue.
