Cory Booker giddy as Democrats vote against 'defund the police': GOP senator 'has given us the gift'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : By a nearly 2-1 margin, 62-33%, registered voters disagree with reducing police funding and moving it to other areas, the poll found.
36% : While President Biden and many mainstream Democrats have advocated for more police funding - not less - there's a progressive wing of the Democratic Party that has embraced the defund the police movement as a way to combat police brutality against people of color.
36% : Rep. Cori Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist prior to being elected to Congress in November, created headaches for mainstream Democrats when she admitted in an interview earlier this month that she pays for private security for herself but wants police departments that protect the broader public to be defunded.
32% : Booker encouraged all of his colleagues to not walk, but "sashay" down to the well of the Senate to vote in favor of Tuberville's amendment to "put to rest the lies" that Senate Democrats want to defund law enforcement.
