WASHINGTON – The family of George Floyd met privately with President Joe Biden on Tuesday and pressed congressional leaders to strike a deal on a massive policing package one year after police killed Floyd on a south Minneapolis street.
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris gathered with the Floyd family for about an hour Tuesday afternoon. Looming over the emotional day, however, was the inability of Congress to meet the president's deadline to advance police reform legislation by the anniversary of Floyd's death.
