Of the 2 major party nominees? Neither.  In fact both Trump and Biden want to increase direct police budgets.

Only Bernie Sanders stands directly with these policies.

I'm guessing this is either inaccurate or of very low relevance to Bernie Sanders, as  he endorses Joe Biden for President.

Its pretty accurate. Biden doesn't support defunding the police. Bernie does.

That said, the issue goes a lot deeper than "how much money are we giving police". Obviously, there is a lot of space between Biden and Trump which makes it easy for someone on the left to make the decision between the two.

Bernie and Biden actually put out a joint policy recommendation document which speaks for a few pages about the police:

The relevant portion starts on page 7.
