The White House acknowledged on Friday that lawmakers are unlikely to pass an overhaul of policing practices in the U.S. by President Joe Biden’s deadline, the May 25 anniversary of George Floyd’s killing by a White police officer in Minneapolis.
“What we’ve seen from the negotiators -- and we’ve been in close touch with the negotiators as well -- is that they still feel progress is being made,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters.
