Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) addressed the city's public safety concerns, asserting that measures have been taken to reset the public safety ecosystem following the biggest increase in violent crime of any major U.S. city last year. This statement comes amid discussions on crime rates in the U.S., with contrasting views presented by various political figures. Analysis by Philip Bump of the Washington Post challenges the claim by Rep. Nancy Mace that crime has surged across the country since Joe Biden took office, labeling such assertions as misinformation. Meanwhile, Biden's campaign communications director pointed to the events of Jan. 6 as evidence to argue that crime rates were lower under Biden compared to the Trump administration, suggesting the public has been misinformed.
