GOP senators congratulate Harris on Senate floor

Republican senators on the Senate floor Tuesday congratulated Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on her and President-elect Joe Biden's election victory, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) fist-bumping the vice president-elect.

(R-Okla.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) all congratulated Harris on the Senate floor as the chamber voted on Federal Reserve Board of Governors nominee Judy Shelton. The vote marked the first time Harris has been back to Capitol Hill since becoming vice president-elect.

Harris also received a fist bump from Graham, who has reinforced Trump's claims.

“Just saying hello. I haven’t seen her in a while. If it works out and they make it, I told her I wish her well and try to work where we can. We will know here in a month or so or less,"

Why is LG fist-bumping KH? Makes no sense to me....but Kamala would have been better served dropping Lindsey on the Senate Floor.

Especially would not first bump Graham after he just tried to get votes thrown out.

Did she successfully make a souffle? Bowl her all-time best game? Why would Senate Republicans possibly be congratulating Sen. Harris?
