"Now, a jury at Minnesota discovered former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts at the murder of George Floyd last May," Biden said Tuesday afternoon.

We can not let them succeed."

"This really is a day of justice in the usa and your loved ones has been actual leaders in this time where we had you, and also in George's memory and name, we're likely to be sure his legacy is in tact and background will return at now and understand that this inflection second, you had to sacrifice so much as a household also, but we do think with your leadership and the president we've got at the White House, we are going to make something good come from the catastrophe," Harris stated.

Before Tuesday, Biden weighed on his hopes to get a verdict, after talking with Floyd's household at the onset of jury deliberations.
