This week, voters in San Francisco ousted Chesa Boudin, their progressive district attorney. The move was seen as a rejection of a class of prosecutors who are determined to overhaul the criminal justice system.

On today’s episode
Astead W. Herndon, a national political reporter for The New York Times.
