(DCNF)—Lawyer Marcia Clark predicted Tuesday that Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is likely to be voted out of office in 2025.
Bragg has faced intense scrutiny for appearing soft on criminals while pursuing high-profile prosecutions against President-elect Donald Trump and marine veteran Daniel Penny. Clark, on “Dan Abrams Live,” said that the Manhattan district attorney will “probably” lose his reelection bed in a similar fashion to Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon, who was ousted in November, pointing to Bragg’s perceived failure to prosecute property crimes.
WATCH:
“I think that Alvin Bragg has been in some hot water of his own, independently of whatever people may perceive as his liberal bias. But I think there is something in the air. People are pretty tired of people getting away with stuff, particularly when it comes to property crimes,” Clark said. “I know here in California, we’ve had a lot of problems with shoplifting and people complaining, I think on the East Coast as well.”
“You go into the CVS or whatever, a Walmart, everything’s locked up. You can’t buy deodorant without calling a store manager. Everybody’s tired of it and it really is enough already,” she continued. “So I think that all of the DAs that seem to be associated with that attitude of ‘we’re not going to prosecute that little stuff’ are probably going to be gone very soon.”
Over 27,000 felony crimes in Manhattan were reported in 2024 as of Nov. 10, marking a nearly 17% increase from the identical time frame in 2021, prior to Bragg’s tenure, according to New York Police Department documents, the New York Post reported. Rape, robbery, felony assault and grand larceny have all surged during Bragg’s time in office.
Bragg secured a conviction of Trump in May on 34 counts for falsifying business records to reimburse his former attorney Michael Cohen for a nondisclosure agreement with porn star Stormy Daniels. However, a jury acquitted Penny on Monday on charges of criminally negligent homicide in the death of homeless man Jordan Neely.
