The county’s autopsy determined Floyd died of “cardiopulmonary arrest,” but a family-commissioned autopsy found he died of “asphyxiation from sustained pressure.”

President Trump, for his part, has been reluctant to adjust his approach despite the widespread unrest. He has continued to inflame rather than soothe tensions.

The New York Democrat repeatedly asked to speak at a Bronx event on protests over the killing of George Floyd, then said near a live microphone, “If I didn’t have a primary, I wouldn’t care.”

Trump’s remarks Monday night triggered a firestorm of criticism from Democrats, several of whom denounced his threat to deploy the military domestically as the behavior of a would-be authoritarian leader.
