Will Pat Dugan, who lost to Larry’s dwarf in the Democratic District Prosecutor’s Office, be actively a Republican in common elections in November?
It seems that the local GOP would really like.
Online survey sent to some residents of Philadelphia on Wednesday asks about the opinions of recipients about Dugan, Krasner, Donald Trump and the incorrectly written “Charelle Parker”. He also asks some indicated questions about the DA breed.
Would the recipient vote for “Pat Dugan, a democrat running a republican ticket; or Larry Krasner, Democrat?”
And which they think are the most responsible for the “high crime index in Philadelphia and the problem with crime?” Is it Krasner, the City Council, “Republicans who refuse to implement weapons” or “democratic policy that refuse to prosecute small crimes and reducing sentences for other crimes”?
As the operate of a “democrat” than “democratic” suggests, the survey was commissioned by the Republican City Committee, Inquirer reported.
“We hope that the survey will tell us all Larry Krasner’s gaps and we still hope that Judge Dugan will remain a republican candidate for the District Prosecutor,” said the chairman of the Vince Fenerta Republic Committee.
Receiving its options
Dugan took distant second place in May, from about 36% of the votes, to 64% for the santa Krasner, who is looking for the third term.
No Republican escaped, but GOP mobilized his members to write in Dugan on basic voting cards. In this way he got about 6,000 votes, much more than 1000, which he needed to become a republican nominated in November universal elections.
Krasner is “the worst prosecutor in America. His main opponent, former judge Pat Dagan, was highly qualified and was a strong character,” wrote the leader of West Philly Republican Ward, Matt Wolfe in the Wednesday’s E -Mail Bulletin. “We asked republicans to write it and succeed.”
Fenery said The plan has been modeled In the campaign in 2023, Allegheny da Steppa Zappala, who lost the basic democratic, but received almost 10,000 GOP votes and won the general elections.
Other democrats used or tried to operate similar strategies. The former Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo lost the recent main mayor of New York with Zohran Mamdani, but now it works on the party line “Fight and deliver” in universal elections.
The head of the Dugan campaign, Dan Kalai, said in May that the former judge He would not act as a republicanBut Dugan himself was less clear about his intentions. Immediately after the basic source of the Dugan campaign, they informed why news considers the GOP offer for him as a republican.
Until now, Dugan has not taken steps to remove himself as a republican nominee. He and Kalai did not answer the requests for comment on Thursday.
Krasner calls Dugan “Dem-Publican”
In the debates and forums before the basis, the renowned progressive Krasner often attacked Dugan for the support he received from Republicans and tried to compare him to Trump.
The District Prosecutor continued the collection against the opponent when he reached for the comment on Thursday, accusing Dugan of “flourished” answers when he was previously asked about running as a republican.
“He is not a democrat. He is a dem-publican,” said Krasner. “He is a guy with one foot in the world of Donald Trump and one foot in the rightful democratic party, who from the very beginning was dishonest to voters.”
“He is unqualified, he is a sore loser and is exactly what the Democratic Party does not need,” said the prosecutor.
Krasner and his reformist approach to prosecution of crime were the target of intensive republican criticism in the country since he first applied for a job in 2017. Da noticed that Dugan collected more money and spent more on advertising than during the main campaign, partly due to republican donors’ contributions.
“I always thought that there will be something like that, because there is too much Elon Musk’s money, because there is too much money who is very happy with tax reductions, courtesy of Donald Trump, the leader of the new Pat Dugan party, the Republican party,” said Krasner.
Dugan is at this point a clearly registered democrat.
The financial advantage of the former judge evaporated until the basic time, although Dugan could start recent efforts in obtaining funds in the coming months. His campaign had only about USD 12,000 cash at the beginning of June, in accordance with the campaign financing report, while Krasner had about USD 75,000.
