Joe Biden welcomes George Floyd’s daughter to the White House two years after his death

George Floyd's daughter Gianna Floyd joined Joe Biden on stage as he signed a police reform executive order on the second anniversary of her father's death.

A statement from the White House said that the order would "advance effective, accountable policing and criminal justice practices that will build public trust and strengthen public safety."
