EXCERPT:
PILGRIM: “The San Francisco DA is out. Voters in that decidedly progressive city choosing to oust him in a recall election. Chesa Boudin was one of the most progressive prosecutors in the country, but critics say he was soft on crime as he's made attempts to ease sentencings and reduce incarcerations. He really came under fire as crime rates rise in San Francisco post pandemic, and this decision sending a major message to Democrats ahead of the midterms and raising some big questions for progressives about how to deal with crime and make voters feel safe and confident that Democrats can deliver if they are elected.”
