Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, took their “Make America Safe Again”

message to police departments in two battleground states on Aug. 20, pledging to improve circumstances for police officers. The Republican candidates’ appearances are part of their campaign strategy while Democrats gather in Chicago. During his speech at the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office in Howell, Michigan, Trump said: “When I’m president of the United States again, we will never even think about or mention the words, ‘defund the police.’”
