President Joe Biden is facing backlash for his comments about the Derek Chauvin trial, following fellow Democrat Maxine Waters' recent controversial remarks.
As the jury deliberates the manslaughter and murder charges against Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer on trial for the death of George Floyd last May, Biden told reporters on Tuesday about his overnight call to Floyd's family.
Without explicitly stating that he is hoping for a conviction, the president said, "I'm praying the verdict is the right verdict. The evidence is overwhelming in my view."
