The U.S. House of Representatives just got enough votes to pass the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act to reform police practices and address institutional racism throughout America.
The vote was 236-181 along near party line vote with Speaker Pelosi presiding. 3 Republicans Reps., Brian Fitz (PA), Will Hurd (TX) and FredUpton (MI), voted Yes.
Now, the GOP-led Senate has to vote on the bill.
