WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said he hoped the death of Tyre Nichols “spurs some action” as he sought to reassure allies in the Congressional Black Caucus of a commitment to work with them to advance police reform.
“We’ve got to stay at it as long as it takes,” Biden said on Thursday at the White House, where he and Vice President Kamala Harris met with members from the influential group.
Biden and Harris were joined by Representative Steven Horsford, the chairman of the Black Caucus, along with Senators Cory Booker and Raphael Warnock, and Representatives James Clyburn, Sheila Jackson Lee and Joe Neguse.
