Amy Klobuchar's vice presidential hopes plummet

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar's chances of joining Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's ticket seem to be fading.

The death of George Floyd on May 25 in Minneapolis police custody ignited nationwide protests, pushing issues of race and police violence to the forefront of national politics. And it all started in Klobuchar's backyard.
