U.S. President Biden to meet with family of George Floyd

U.S. President Joe Biden will meet with the family of George Floyd at the White House Tuesday on the one year anniversary of his death.

Beyond the meeting, Biden has yet to offer concrete action for the family of the man whose death at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer sparked a global reckoning over systemic racism and movement for police reform.

The path forward on Capitol Hill for Floyd’s namesake bill, the George Floyd
Justice in Policing Act, remains unclear.

Negotiators say they’ve made progress and expressed optimism this week about its prospects.

The Floyd family will also meet Tuesday with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Karen Bass, the lead House negotiator on the policing bill.
