Soon after the police officer who killed George Floyd was convicted of murder, President Biden called Floyd’s relatives with a promise: Once he could sign legislation named for Floyd to change policing nationwide, he would fly them to Washington for the occasion. Floyd’s family arrived at the White House on Tuesday, the anniversary of his death. He pointed to Biden’s remarks in Philadelphia following Floyd’s death, when he called on the country to work to eradicate systemic racism. If younger voters believe that the president and his party are engaged on racial justice issues, even if progress is slow, “they will continue to work with the administration to address those systemic issues,” Della Volpe said. Biden has often mentioned Gianna and her comment that “my daddy changed the world” by his death.
