Prominent Democrats have increasingly been vocalizing their support or voting for decriminalizing prostitution, with some claiming “sex work” is a legitimate career path for women.
The prostitution issue was once more closely aligned with members of the radical-left “Squad,” but has now gained increasing support in the mainstream Democratic Party, on Capitol Hill and in cities across the country. Even long-time Democrats such as Rep. Jerry Nadler, have come out in 2024 supporting decriminalizing it, while others – such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul – have said they are actively studying their position on “sex work.”
Most prominently, Vice President Kamala Harris came out in 2020 in support of decrim, the catch-all term used by activists to describe support for sex work, and proceeded to brag about how she refused to prosecute cases when she was a district attorney of San Francisco.
