As Cahill read the verdict given to him by the jury, another group of members of Floyd’s family can be seen in a video waiting with his head bowed. As each of the three verdicts was read, family members shouted for joy.

Once they read the final verdict, they could no longer contain their euphoria, with a young woman shouting, “Yes, that’s what we wanted!”

Ben Crump, the lawyer representing Floyd’s family, shared a video on Twitter of President BidenJoe Biden Obama, Clinton Reflect on Mondale’s Legacy Biden, Harris praises Mondale for paving the way for female vice president Mondale in the latest message to staff: “Joe in the White House certainly helps” MORE and Vice President Harris called them shortly after the verdict.

When a member asked Biden how he was doing, the president replied, “I feel better now. Nothing will make everything better, but at least now there is justice.”

“You’ve been amazing. You’re an amazing family,” Biden added.

“I’m very grateful to the whole family. Your courage, your commitment, your strength,” Harris can be heard on the phone call. “This is a day of justice in America.”

After the verdict was read, Chauvin was detained in custody and his bail was revoked. He was driven out of the room with handcuffs.
