National outrage over the killing of Tyre Nichols has prompted renewed calls on Capitol Hill for police reform. But in a divided Congress, bipartisan reform legislation is unlikely.
Plans are underway for Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford to meet with Biden about police reform. A date for the meeting has not yet been set.
"I believe the president has the ability to bring us together in a very unique way," Horsford said, noting Biden's role in passing gun safety legislation and the bipartisan infrastructure legislation."We expect the president to be involved in helping us reach consensus in a bipartisan way on comprehensive police accountability and justice reform."
after months of bipartisan deliberations between then-Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., and Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Tim Scott, R-S.C. "We are working to come up with opportunities to negotiate on the principles of justice and police reform that are meaningful," he said, noting he has reached out to Scott, one of the central players in previous negotiations."We are looking for ways to tackle the pattern and practices of cities like Memphis that have higher rates of use of force against Black residents."
