explicitly anti-family in some of their policies. >> the biden administration is focusing on crime, a key issue for voters, citing preliminary data in two studies claiming unprecedented declines in crime over the first half of this year, including homicides and vehicle thefts across more than 40 cities. transportation secretary pete buttigieg, who has emerged as a potential contender for harris's running mate, criticized the lack of attention to crime rates under trump, trying to make people think that crime is up when crime is down under. >> joe biden and crime was up under donald trump. now, i don't know how often that gets reported on this network. so if you're watching this at home, do yourself a favor and look up the data. >> trump sharpened his attacks on harris in recent days. >> harris is so extreme and unhinged, but it was this comment getting the most attention. you got to get out and vote in four years. you don't have to vote again. we'll have it fixed. so good. you're not going to have to vote. >> democrats claim the remark shows trump is a threat to democracy, but republican
