Jill Biden, George Floyd's family rally Democratic voters in Tallahassee

Former Second Lady Jill Biden and the family of George Floyd stopped in Tallahassee on Sunday to rally support among Black Floridians on the final day of early voting in Florida.

Speaking to hundreds of Democratic supports on the footsteps of the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, near Florida’s Capitol, Biden encouraged a last-minute turnout for her husband, former Vice President Joe Biden.

“This is it. There are no do-overs,” Biden said. “If we win here, there is no stopping us.”

The stop was the first of a three-city Florida swing on Sunday for Biden, whose husband was spending Sunday in the other crucial swing state of Pennsylvania. After Tallahassee, Jill Biden was scheduled to stop in Orlando before hosting a drive-in rally in Tampa at Hillsborough Community College at 5 p.m.

Biden was joined by Tallahassee civil rights attorney Ben Crump and relatives of George Floyd, 46, who suffocated to death after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes
