George Floyd's family said they were shown "genuine" care from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris when they visited the White House.

The family of Floyd met with Biden and Harris during a visit on Tuesday, May 25 - marking the first anniversary since Floyd's murder at the hands of convicted cop Derek Chauvin.

Per People, Floyd's brother Philonise commented on the meeting in a later press briefing, stating: "It was great. [Biden's] a genuine guy.

"They always speak from the heart and it's a pleasure just to be able to have the chance to meet with him when we have the opportunity to."

Meanwhile, his other brother Terrance later told reporters: "Being here today is an honor."

He went on: "To meet with the president and the vice president and for them to show concern for our family and for them to actually give an ear to our concerns and how we feel [about] the situation.

"I'm grateful for that [...] I think genuinely he wanted to know exactly how we were doing and what he could do to support us."

Philonise and Terrance Floyd were accompanied on the visit by George Floyd's daughter Gianna, her mother Roxie Washington, Floyd's sister Bridgett and Philonise's wife Keeta.

Per People, during a previous call with Floyd's relatives, the POTUS stated that he was "anxious to see" them, promising: "We're going to get a lot more done. We're going to do a lot. We're going to stay at it until we get it done."

NBC News reports that the family also met with Nancy Pelosi and several other Democrat and Republican senators, to discuss the subjects of police reform and racial profiling in the United States.

Senators Cory Booker and Tim Scott, as well as Representative Karen Bass, are the lawmakers currently spearheading the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

This bill aims to end the use of certain police techniques, including chokeholds and carotid holds, two forms of potentially deadly force, used by officers to subdue and apprehend suspects.

It also seeks to improve police training and invest in community programs designed to improve police procedure, eliminate bias and discrimination, and promote more equitable public services.
