Floyd family meets with Biden and Harris at White House

CNN  

CNN — President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris met on Tuesday with the family of George Floyd exactly one year after he was killed by a Minneapolis police officer, sparking nationwide protests against racism and police brutality. Floyd’s brother, Philonise Floyd, told reporters the family had a “great” meeting with the President and vice president and said: “He’s a genuine guy. Floyd’s nephew, Brandon Williams, said Biden told the family he wants to see the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act passed, but he wants to make sure it’s the right legislation. One of the Floyd family attorneys, Chris Stewart, said Biden played with Gianna Floyd – George Floyd’s daughter – during the meeting and that “she had an absolute ball.” Biden told reporters that his meeting with the Floyd family was a mostly personal visit and that he had spent more than an hour with the family, and discussed specifically time he spent with Gianna Floyd. She called for Congress to act with a sense of urgency and pass legislation that would “not bring back those lives lost, but it will represent much needed progress.” In addition to meeting with the President, the Floyd family is set to meet with the lead negotiators for the police reform bill in the Senate, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker and South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott.
