Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden reportedly met with members of George Floyd’s family on Monday (June 8).
Biden, along with his wife, Jill, sat with the family at a popular Black-owned restaurant in Houston prior to his memorial service and talked with them about their loss and grief as the group dined together.
Floyd family attorney Benjamin Crump said the meeting lasted for more than an hour.
Once the meeting was finished, Biden stayed at the restaurant to record an interview with CBS News and commented on the impact that Floyd’s death is having.
