.POTUS is trying to turn Republican arguments about Democrats and crime against them in the hope of winning a spending fight this year and an election next year. Republicans dispute Biden's counterclaims as Democrats have called to 'defund the police.'
But Republicans dispute Biden's counterclaims that they are the ones who would like to"defund the police" as budget and debt ceiling talks escalate before a summer deadline with far-reaching economic ramifications.Biden is"top-tier gaslighting" the public after the president"filled his administration with radical 'defund the police' supporters from top to bottom," according to Republican strategists.
Biden distanced himself from more liberal Democrats and their"defund the police" movement during his State of the Union address last year, instead asking Congress for increased money for police training, among other ideas, according to University of Wisconsin-Madison Elections Research Center Director Barry Burden.
"Although it might alarm some in his party, standing behind policing will make it difficult in the 2024 presidential campaign for Republicans to cast Biden as an irresponsible liberal who does not care about crime," Burden said."Republicans will continue to blame Biden for violent criminal activity, but that approach did not appear to net the party much in the 2022 midterm elections when it ran up against the abortion issue.
"Although Democrats may have some success in highlighting the negative effects of budget cuts in general, it will be tough to convince voters that Democrats support police more than Republicans do," he said."It would be as if Republicans claimed that Democrats were defunding Social Security and Medicare — not impossible to imagine but implausible to most people."
Biden underscored his budget in Monterey Park, California, this week during remarks about his new gun control executive order, which, among other actions, will ensure gun dealers are conducting the proper background checks. A gunman killed 11 people at a Monterey Park dance studio in January.
