Dem Cheri Beasley avoids addressing cashless bail but questions Budd's support of law enforcement

Former North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley, the state's Democratic Senate nominee, takes aim at GOP nominee Rep. Ted Budd over the issue of law enforcement.

In ads and on the campaign trail, Budd and his GOP allies have targeted Beasley over her judicial record, attacked her over support for cashless bail for nonviolent offenders, and have claimed that she supports defunding the police. But pushing back, Beasley highlights her endorsements by law enforcement and has distanced herself from those on the far left who’ve called for reductions in police funding.

And in an exclusive interview with Fox News after touring Jim Edwards’ family farm in Burnsville, North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge mountains north of Asheville, Beasley argued that during his tenure in the House, Budd has "had four opportunities to vote in favor of funding for law enforcement, to make sure that they have opportunities for recruitment and retaining their officers, to fight the opioid crisis, and Congressman Budd has voted no each of those four times. He’s the last one to give a lecture on public safety."
