Michael Bennet, said in a video obtained by Just the News that\u00a0there is a way to &#8220;quietly&#8221; defund police by reallocating funds and she hopes President Biden doesn&#8217;t run for reelection in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Daggett, law professor at the University of Denver&#8217;s Sturm College of Law,\u00a0was asked if President Biden should run for reelection in the undercover video, released by the media watchdog group Accuracy in Media.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope not,&#8221; she replied in the video recorded outside her home in Denver by two investigative journalists posing as campaign activists.<\/p>\n<p>She was then asked if Bennet should at least plan to run again in the 2024 Democratic primary for president.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u00a0don&#8217;t think so, I mean, I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Daggett\u00a0said.\u00a0&#8220;It would just\u00a0depend a lot on what the dynamics are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Daggett also addressed the &#8220;defund the police&#8221; movement, saying the term &#8220;defund the police&#8221; really means &#8220;reallocating&#8221; funds for mental health and social services as well as overall police reform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Michael would say calling it &#8216;defund the police&#8217; is not the smartest move at the outset,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Whether police reform can happen depends on the results of the midterm election, she added.<\/p>\n<p>Daggett explained that &#8220;the most successful efforts in Washington, D.C.\u00a0are the ones that you never see on the front page of the paper.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Referring to police reform and reallocating funds to mental health services, Daggett said, &#8220;We&#8217;re talking about it for half a second, and let the temperatures come down, and quietly allocate some funding to mental health, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She concluded that &#8220;there are strategic ways to do it that would be just as effective but, you know, not raise the flag.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Daggett&#8217;s identity was corroborated by comparing the video with public photos as well as an audio recording.<\/p>\n<p>Bennet is locked in an unexpectedly tight race for reelection to the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Daggett did not respond to a request for comment. Bennet&#8217;s office was sent the video at its request but has not provided comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Susan Daggett, an attorney and wife of Colorado Democratic Sen.
