Joe Biden will be among the guests mourning George Floyd at his funeral next week.
Ben Crump, the lawyer representing Floyd and his family, told Van Jones, a CNN political commentator and criminal justice reform activist, that Biden would be at the memorial, scheduled for next Tuesday in Houston.
Biden's attendance was announced after the two-term vice president and presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee addressed the nation from Philadelphia's City Hall. Biden's speech in his neighboring state came as angry protests sparked by the police custody death of Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, continue to upend the country.
“'I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe,'" Biden said Tuesday in his first campaign event out of Delaware since the COVID-19 outbreak. "George Floyd’s last words. But they didn’t die with him. They’re still being heard. They’re echoing across this nation.".....snip~
