Former vice president Joe Biden is expected to attend the funeral next week of George Floyd, the black man who died at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer, a lawyer for Floyds family said Tuesday.
The lawyer, Ben Crump, said Floyds family will hold the funeral in Houston, Texas, on June 9, after holding memorial services in Minneapolis on Thursday, and another memorial in North Carolina on Saturday.

It is what it is now....George Floyd is now going to be famous and a pivotal icon in history......Biden is actually going to work with George posthumously of course and save lives in the future... It is a good thing.
