FBI's latest data shows 'historic' drop in crime: Garland

Crime is a key issue for voters in an election year, and President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are working to highlight their crime-reduction plans in what is expected to be a very close race this November.

"President Biden has worked hard to clean up [Trump's] mess, and it’s working," Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement, referencing the new FBI data.

President Biden appeared to freeze during a Juneteenth celebration at the White House on Monday.

Biden, 81, was filmed standing still as stone while those around him, including Vice President Kamala Harris, clapped and danced to a concert featuring gospel singer Kirk Franklin.

Video shows Biden staring blankly and not moving an inch for about 30 seconds before Philonise Floyd — the brother of George Floyd, whose murder triggered nationwide riots in 2020 — noticed the president and put his arm around him. Biden then smiles as Floyd leans in to say something, and they bump fists after exchanging a few words.

"Why isn't Biden moving?" the Republican National Committee's rapid response account questioned on X.

"Lights are on but no one's home," the Trump campaign posted.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
