President Biden is expected to host the family of George Floyd at the White House on Tuesday – though Congress is poised to miss Biden’s deadline of getting the federal police reform bill with Floyd’s namesake passed by the one-year anniversary of Floyd's killing by a Minneapolis officer. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, originally introduced last June, passed the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives in March by a 220-212 vote. BIDEN PLANS TO MEET WITH GEORGE FLOYD'S FAMILY ON ANNIVERSARY OF HIS MURDER"I know Republicans have their own ideas and are engaged in the very productive discussions with Democrats in the Senate," he added. But let’s get it done next month, by the first anniversary of George Floyd’s death." Last July, Democrats in the Senate rejected a similar GOP-backed police reform bill introduced by Scott, arguing the proposed legislation did not go far enough to address racial inequality.
