Kamala Harris's 2020 'Defund the Police' Support Resurfaces Amid Presidential Bid

Newly unearthed interview reveals Harris's past endorsement of the controversial movement, complicating her current campaign narrative.

In a June 2020 radio interview, Harris supported reallocating police funds to community services.
Harris's stance shifted after joining Biden's ticket, with the campaign clarifying she did not support defunding the police.
Harris emphasized the need to reimagine public safety and criticized the militarization of police departments.
The interview's resurfacing poses a challenge as Harris seeks the Democratic presidential nomination.
Polling data shows limited public support for reducing police budgets, even during the height of the movement.
