A former municipal judge who lost to Philadelphia’s Soros-linked city prosecutor in the May Democratic primary announced over the weekend he would be registering for the Republican Party line in November’s election, as President Donald Trump brings a new focus on urban crime.
Philadelphia Judge Patrick Dugan, of the city’s Far Northeast, earned enough write-in votes in May’s contest – where no Republican was on that party’s primary ballot – to be able to run on the party line in November.
However, it wasn’t until the weekend that Dugan formally announced he would take the GOP mantle in hopes of ousting Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.
Trump, meanwhile, announced on Monday he is usurping control of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., for the statutory 48 hours allowed under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973 due to violent crime he declared is on par with several capitals in Central America.
