In a bid to hold on to voters, President Joe Biden is waging a fight against rising crime by touting increased police funding while staying mum on reform efforts that have stalled in the Senate.

Upon taking office, Biden mentioned police reform, George Floyd, and the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act more than two dozen times. But he has spoken little on the issue this last month, according to an analysis by USA Today.
