'He's a healer, a builder with a great future in front of him.' The embattled DA now has one of the nation's most well-known civil rights leaders on his side.
In a one-on-one interview, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin addressed the recall he faces in June, reports of staffing issues, and concerns around crime and safety in San Francisco.
"He's a healer, a builder with a great future in front of him. He'll come out of this stronger, he'll win on Tuesday," Jackson said. "He's here with us in San Francisco because we have got to remember to remind everyone to vote, the election is Tuesday and issues are important, stakes are high," said Boudin.Boudin has been district attorney since 2019 and says his goal has been reforming the criminal justice system. But those supporting the recall believe his approach to crime has led to increased crime rates.RELATED:"I'm optimistic that San Francisco is going to recall Chesa Boudin.
A recent poll by the San Francisco Standard found over half of registered voters, 57% support recalling Boudin, while 22% plan to reject the recall.But no one is claiming victory until the votes are counted. "What we continue to say is a poll is only so good as those who actually turn in their ballots," said Jenkins.
