But he also risks alienating left-wing Democrats who favor slashing police.<\/p>\n<p>A Biden administration official told reporters that the president will implore local officials to consider giving police a greater share of the $350 billion in state and local government funds that Democrats approved last year as part of a larger $1.9 trillion package. Those funds are still being disbursed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still think that a lot of places still have some flexibility in how they spend and that it is worth pressing them, even if they\u2019ve made certain budget plans, to ask themselves again, is there more they can be doing in the preparation this summer for violence prevention and public safety?\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n<p>An increase in crime is dragging on Democrats ahead of the midterm elections, along with public anger at four-decade-high inflation and frustration with the lingering COVID-19 pandemic and record-breaking illegal immigration. Biden is attempting to prevent Republicans from retaking Congress, but his own approval rating has remained low since the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August.<\/p>\n<p>Officials on a White House-organized call signaled that Biden intends to try to cast Republicans as less pro-police than Democrats because they didn\u2019t support the massive stimulus bill \u2014 though Biden didn\u2019t stress that cities should use the law\u2019s funds for policing until months after it passed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/biden-police-hiring-086.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"U.S. President Joe Biden speaks in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, May 4, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-22253738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/biden-police-hiring-086.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/biden-police-hiring-086.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/biden-police-hiring-086.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Polls have found broad disapproval of Biden\u2019s handling of crime.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Bloomberg via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s consider what Republicans are doing when it comes to making our communities safer.
