### **Stop Calling Trump a Criminal!**
Vice President Kamala Harris is currently navigating a precarious political landscape, particularly in the realm of criminal justice, where her past and present positions seem increasingly at odds.
Recently, over 160 criminal justice reform advocacy groups penned an open letter to Harris, urging her to refrain from labeling former President Donald Trump as a "criminal" or "felon" despite his recent felony conviction in New York City. These groups, which include organizations like The Bail Project and Beauty after Bars, are pushing Harris towards a more progressive stance while reminding her of her roots as a formidable prosecutor.
"There will be those that simplify a match-up between you and former President Trump as one between a 'tough-on-crime' prosecutor and a 'criminal,'" the letter cautioned, highlighting the potential pitfalls of such a narrative.
The letter also commended Harris for her support of criminal justice reform, stating, "First, we believe you have been and will be a criminal justice reform leader." This acknowledgment serves as both a reminder and a call to action for Harris to stay true to the reformative path.
Moreover, the groups emphasized the importance of focusing on Trump's actions and policies rather than his criminal status. "Hold Donald Trump to account for his conduct and for failing to demonstrate remorse," they advised, pushing for a campaign strategy that avoids old-school fear-mongering and instead addresses the substantive issues at hand.
