President Joe Biden said he was “praying” for the jury to reach the “right verdict” in the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin Tuesday after consoling the family of George Floyd.

Biden’s comments come as the jury in Chauvin’s trial sits in deliberation on the verdict for the second day. The trial wrapped up on Monday with closing arguments by the prosecution and defense before the jury was sent to deliberate on a verdict. The jury is also now sequestered, meaning they are staying in a hotel without access to news media for the deliberations process, according to CNBC News.
