Following President Joe Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday night, several prominent members of Congress, mostly Democrats, broke Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to surround and talk to the president while giving him fist bumps.
Some congressional members who fist bumped and/or came within a distance of less than six feet to the president include:
Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT).

WASHINGTON If this were a normal year, Representative Steve Cohen, Democrat of Tennessee, might have spent hours leading up to President Biden’s first address to a joint session of Congress camped out in the House chamber among a small but determined tribe of lawmakers known as “aisle hogs.”
April 28, 2021 | Austin, Texas | Press Release
Governor Greg Abbott tonight issued a statement in response to President Biden s joint address to Congress: During his joint address to Congress, President Biden listed plan after plan that would destroy jobs, grow the role of government in our lives, and threaten Texas’ economic might. Texans can rest assured that the Lone Star State will continue to combat overreach by the Biden Administration to keep our state the best place to live, work, and raise a family.
“President Biden also refused to take responsibility for the surge in illegal crossings at the southern border and offered no solutions to address the humanitarian crisis created by his open border polices. In President Biden s absence, Texas is stepping up to address the surge at the border and crack down on human traffickers and dangerous cartels.
President Biden addressed Congress for the first time since taking office Wednesday night, calling for America "to do more than just build back. We have to build back better.".
