President Joe Biden evaded a handshake from embattled Rep. George Santos (R-NY) while acknowledging other Republicans in his walk down the House chamber aisle.

Biden appeared to make eye contact with Santos, at least from the vantage point of some viewers, but they didn’t acknowledge each other beyond that. Other conservative lawmakers, including Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Tim Burchett (R-TN), shook hands with the president.

Santos admitted to fabricating aspects of his resume and personal history, including that he held degrees from New York University and Baruch College, that his mother survived on 9/11, and that he is descended from Holocaust survivors. He also seemed to have a tense exchange with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) as the senators entered the chamber. He is under pressure from members of his party to resign.
