Monday's planned visit to Houston is the farthest Biden has ventured from his Delaware home since stay-at-home riders began in early March.
Former Vice President Joe Biden plans to travel to Houston on Monday to meet with the family of George Floyd, opting for a private meeting instead of potentially disrupting Tuesday's funeral service with extra security measures.
An aide familiar with the plans said that Biden does not want his Secret Service protection to complicate the funeral service, but wanted to give his condolences in person. Monday's planned visit to Houston is the farthest Biden has ventured from his Delaware home since stay-at-home orders began in early March. He delivered a speech last week in Philadelphia in response to Floyd's killing last month in Minneapolis.
