Biden spoke with Nichols’s parents by phone Friday afternoon, and said he was “outraged and deeply pained” to see the video of Nichols’s beating. He also called on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which“It is yet another painful reminder of the profound fear and trauma, the pain, and the exhaustion that Black and Brown Americans experience every single day,” Biden said in a statement Friday.

Brandon Tsay, a 26-year-old man hailed as a hero after he disarmed a gunman who targeted two dance halls in Southern California earlier this month, will also be a guest at the State of the Union address.
