Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee, is expected to attend the funeral of George Floyd, the Minneapolis man whose death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer sparked a week of anti-police brutality demonstrations across the country, according to a report from CNN.

“Plans are being discussed” but “arrangements have not been finalized,” the outlet said Wednesday, noting that while a spokesman for Biden’s campaign refused to comment on the matter, an attorney for George Floyd’s family, Ben Crump, told the network that Biden is expected to be in attendance.
