Trump criticized Moore and other Maryland Democrats for weak crime policies, citing Baltimore as one of the most perilous cities in the U.S. and accusing Moore of poor crime management. In response,Moore highlighted Maryland&#8217;s reduction in homicides by 20 percent through an &#8220;all-of-the-above&#8221; approach focusing on addressing root causes of crime,despite federal funding cuts during Trump&#8217;s management.<\/p>\n<p>Moore also invited trump to join a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vance-sharpens-gops-sales-pitch-defends-medicaid-cuts-at-georgia-campaign-stop\/\" title=\"Vance sharpens GOP\u2019s sales pitch, defends Medicaid cuts at Georgia campaign stop\">public safety walk<\/a>&#8221; in Baltimore, which Trump rejected, insisting that Moore should first clean up the city&#8217;s crime problem. Trump claimed that after sending National Guard troops to secure Washington D.C., crime dropped considerably there and suggested using similar tactics in Maryland.
