'Not a yes or no question' whether POTUS Biden deems big cities safe, White House PressSec says
This line of questioning was inspired in part by former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, now an MSNBC pundit, saying crime was a major vulnerability for Democrats in the midterm elections.
“Look, this is a president who has secured historic funding to make sure that law enforcement has what it needs,” she said. “He was able to do this in the face of opposition from Republicans.” Since the 2020 campaign, Biden has tried to distance Democrats from “defund the police.” He has directed funds to law enforcement, chastised Jan. 6 rioters who clashed with Capitol police, and criticized Republicans who spoke of defunding the FBI in the wake of the raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
