On Friday's broadcast of "CNN News Central," Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI) responded to 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris' past praise of the defund the police movement by saying that he thinks she was "focused on not just saying, okay, more and more and more police will solve the crime problem, we have to invest in different aspects of the stability of [the] community. I just helped secure money in my own district in Saginaw, Michigan for a police and community partnership, where money goes in both directions. I think that's what the Vice President was speaking of, at least as I recall the debate at that time."
