WASHINGTON, United States - Joe Biden's emotional voice on the call to George Floyd's family told the story of his presidency: "I wish I were there just to put my arms around you."
His willingness to mourn American COVID-19 deaths -- now numbering over 568,000 -- helped set him apart from Donald Trump during last year's election. When his campaign to become president hit an especially low ebb last year, it was a powerful Black politician, congressman Jim Clyburn, who pulled him up and set him on a remarkable path to victory.
In his post-verdict phone call, Biden recalled something George Floyd's young daughter Gianna had told him after her father's murder.
This is the people 's president.
Justice has been served. The violent police officer was found guilty. And criminal Floyd is dead.
Wow😕😕
