The United States is on track to record its lowest murder rate in more than six decades – a major public safety milestone under President Donald Trump’s leadership.

New data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shows that the murder rate is plummeting nationwide. According to the Real-Time Crime Index, the number of murders in the country has dropped by 21.6 percent compared to the same period in 2024. In early May alone, murder rates fell 31.6 percent in Baltimore, 34.5 percent in St. Louis, 36.8 percent in Cleveland, 63 percent in Denver, 30.6 percent in New Orleans, 26.8 percent in New York, and 23.7 percent in Chicago.

If that trend continues, 2025 could break records – and even the corporate media is begrudgingly taking note. Politico recently noted that “murder rates are tumbling across the U.S. in 2025” and suggested the country “could be on course for the lowest number on record.” At current levels, 2025 would end up with fewer murders than 2014, when the U.S. recorded its lowest murder rate since 1960 – 4.46 murders per 100,000 Americans.

By comparison, the murder rate was 6.83 per 100,000 in 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread violent BLM riots in major cities. Murder rates climbed further in 2021 and remained elevated through 2022
