Promise Details

Harris promised federal police-accountability reforms, supporting the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. It passed the House but stalled in the Senate.

Why it is broken

The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act passed the House but failed in the Senate. Despite strong executive and advocacy support, bipartisan negotiations broke down. Some departments adopted reforms via DOJ guidance and grants, but the national framework never became law. The administration instead issued limited executive orders on federal agencies, leaving broader reforms unrealized.
