Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) refused to shake the hand of Betsy DeVos, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Education, following a contentious Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday.
Shortly after the hearing adjourned, DeVos approached the front of the room to exchange pleasantries with the senators. Most of the lawmakers were willing to speak with DeVos, but the senator from Massachusetts clearly waved the nominee off on her way out of the hearing room.
DeVos’ nomination is expected to see a vote before the Health, Education, Labor, and Pension Committee next Tuesday.
