Floyd's death sparked nationwide protests and has led to a national reckoning over police brutality, racism, and slavery. But efforts to move forward reforms on policing stalled on Capitol Hill, as Democrats and Republicans were divided over priorities.

As demonstrations against racial injustice are still raging on in some U.S. cities, Trump has made the enforcement of "law and order" a major theme of his reelection campaign and has repeatedly lashed out at cities run by Democrats.

Former U.S. Vice President and 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden weighed in on Blake's shooting and the aftermath on Wednesday.

"Once again, a Black man - Jacob Blake - was shot by the police. In front of his children. It makes me sick. Is this the country we want to be?" Biden tweeted. "Needless violence won't heal us. We need to end the violence - and peacefully come together to demand justice."
