Abstract
Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner's back-to-back electoral wins suggest that an overwhelming number of Philadelphia voters do not associate continued failings of the criminal justice system or escalating violence in their city with Krasner's progressive policies. Rather, flanking the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, Krasner's electoral victories may reflect the influence of mass protest movements on public opinion.
