1. George Floyd's Family Says Biden is Committed to Police Reform

After meeting with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday for over an hour in a private Oval Office session, the family members of George Floyd said the president was still committed to passing a police reform bill, even as he missed his own self-imposed deadline of getting it signed on the one-year anniversary of Mr. Floyd’s death.

“He said of the deadline, he’s not happy about it not being met, but all in all he just wants the bill to be right,” Brandon Williams, the nephew of George Floyd, told reporters outside the White House after the meeting ended.

The family members and their lead attorney, Benjamin Crump, characterized the meeting with Mr. Biden as a “very personal” check-in with a family he has gotten to know over the past year.

“He genuinely wanted to know exactly how we were doing,” Mr. Williams said.
