Today’s new FBI data confirms that Americans are safer now than when President Biden and I took office. Violent crime is at a near 50-year low, and last year we saw the largest-ever decrease in the homicide rate.
“Throughout my entire career, I have worked to make our communities safer.
I prosecuted homicide cases as a District Attorney. As Attorney General of California, I got illegal firearms off the streets. And as Vice President, I have been proud to work with President Biden to enact the most significant gun safety legislation in decades. I also cast the tie-breaking vote on our American Rescue Plan — the largest-ever federal investment in fighting and preventing crime.
“While we have made great progress, @POTUS and I are not stopping now. I am committed to working with anyone, anywhere, anytime to keep our children, families, and communities safe.”
Every American should have the freedom to live safe from violence.
