Violent crime has plummeted to another historic low under President Trump and Senate Republicans’ leadership, creating safer communities across the country—even in blue states where Democrats have undermined law enforcement and fueled dangerous defund-the-police rhetoric.
“Soft-on-crime Democrats like Roy Cooper have put Americans at risk by emboldening criminals and enabling violent repeat offenders. Families are safer under Republican leadership,” said NRSC National Press Secretary Bernadette Breslin.
Yesterday, Senate Republicans released a new $17 million ad campaign targeting Cooper for “catering to Far-Left groups and releasing thousands of violent criminals early.”
By the numbers:
- Homicides are down 18%—on pace for the lowest level in at least 126 years.
- Carjackings are down 47%.
- Motor vehicle thefts are down 20%.
- Robberies are down 17%.
- Residential burglaries are down 13%.
