President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he is praying for the 'right verdict' in George Floyd trial and called the evidence 'overwhelming.'
'I'm praying the verdict is the right verdict. Which is – I think it's overwhelming in my view,' Biden told reporters in the Oval office. 'I wouldn’t say that unless the jury was sequestered now.'
Biden called Floyd's brother Philonise on Monday after the jury went behind closed doors for their deliberations deliberations on the charges of murder and manslaughter against Chauvin.
'I waited until the jury was sequestered and I called,' he said.
'I've come to know George's family,' Biden noted as he said he 'can only imagine the pressure and anxiety they're feeling.'
Biden has denounced Floyd's death but had stopped short of weighing in on the trial until now. His extraordinary comments come as the 12-member jury began its second day behind closed doors and the nation waits for their decision.
Philonise Floyd said Biden, who has buried a wife and two children, spoke to him about what it's like to lose a family member.
'He was just calling. He knows how it is to lose a family member. And he knows that the process of what we're going through so he was just letting us know that he was praying for us, and hoping that everything would come out to be okay,' Philonise told NBC's Today on Tuesday morning.
Floyd said he is 'optimistic' about the coming verdict in his brother's murder trial. 'Hopefully it will be the way the world wants to see it,' he noted. He also expressed his hope for peace when the trial ends.

This is disgusting for him to even make a comment at this time.
He's also a bold-faced liar who is not below lying to people's faces or over the phone. I'm jus'sayin'.
When the POTUS is prejudicing the jury, it’s mistrial time.
America has the very best Kangaroo Courts the World has to offer.
He’s just reading valjar and bammy’s press release
It’s a slam dunk for a mistrial; should be a slam dunk for a dismissal of the charges when the President of the United States (I know, I know) says to abolish due process and go straight to the lynch mob.
I was working in a Hosp..in NE OK.
Had a patient that had had a stroke...but she could talk and all..but it effected her some. She was a hoot..real funny.
I was standing in the hallway..when one the kitchen people were in her room asking her what she would like for dinner.
The girl say's would you like Meatloaf for dinner.
Patient say's.."No but I would really like Rod Stewart..."
I cracked up laughing....TRUE STORY.
Well Hmmm, I had no idea OBiden was on the jury and heard all the testimonies and evidence presented..
Dat’s a Good One!
“Overwhelming evidence you say Plugs?
Am I missing something or was Plugs present in the courtroom during the entirety of this trial?”

Hey, man. The dude saw the video. Silly to bother with a trial/jury when we can have conviction by video?
Chances of acquittal this time are slim and none.
And slim is fading fast.
He was never going to get a fair trial, and the jurors know that the anarchists will hurt them and their families if they dont convict.
Biden is meddling.
The chief law enforcement officer(remember the AG works for the POTUS) in the country opining on a state criminal case. Looks life interference to me but what do I know?
I am waiting for Biden to say Floyd could have been one of his sons...
The stupid bastard just did what Maxmouth Waters did..try to affect the outcome of the trial.
Yup
At this point I think they are playing for a mistrial so they can try again...
I’m so sick of this. I am against violence and rioting, but I an secretly hoping for a “not guilty on all counts” just to see the Democrats burn their own cities down.
