Meet the five Democrats in key Senate races who have expressed support for eliminating cash bail
Fox News
Support for ending cash bail and other criminal justice policies from Democratic Senate candidates could give Republicans the upper hand in the upcoming midterm elections.
Crime, which has skyrocketed across several major American cities, has become an important concern for voters ahead of the November elections, with a poll last month indicating that a majority view Republicans as more equipped to handle the issue that has become more important to them than abortion.

Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, who's seeking to defeat GOP nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz in the race to replace retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey, once advocated for the elimination of cash bail "where it's appropriate" in an effort not to "criminalize poverty" or "criminalize race."
