Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden said in a TV interview on Tuesday that the only person seeking to defund the police is President Donald Trump.
Biden made the remark as he attempted to deflect a question about his call to “redirect” funding away from police agencies.
“I not only don’t want to defund the police, I’m the one calling for $300 billion — million more for local police, for community policing,” Biden told the news station.
He accused Trump of attempting to cut $400 million from “state and local help.”
