Susan Daggett, wife of Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, who is locked in a tight battle for reelection, said, "Michael would say calling it 'defund the police' is not the smartest move at the outset."

Referring to police reform and reallocating funds to mental health services, Daggett said, “We’re talking about it for half a second, and let the temperatures come down, and quietly allocate some funding to mental health, right?”

She concluded that “there are strategic ways to do it that would be just as effective but, you know, not raise the flag.”
