Zaid Jilani: Uptick in violent crime is a state and local issue, not a Biden issue

Zaid Jilani, a journalist and co-founder of Inquire More, joined Hill.TV on Monday to argue that an increase in crime in the United States is more of a local issue than one for President Biden.

He argued that Biden should turn to a hyperlocal response in responding to rising violent crime, and noted that crime overall actually dropped during the pandemic.

“States and localities have to coordinate all these responses primarily, but the feds can pony up some money and offer some resources,” he said.
