Manchin and Pelosi’s intimate moment captured in Washington’s Photos of the Week.

Memorable Moments in Washington During Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s State Visit

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s state visit to Washington this week was filled with captivating moments that left a lasting impression.

President Joe Biden, in a heartfelt gesture, mistakenly placed his hand on his heart during the Indian national anthem. It was a touching display of respect and admiration.

However, not all moments were harmonious. The “Squad” Democrats chose to boycott Modi’s congressional speech, sparking controversy and raising eyebrows.

Meanwhile, amidst the turmoil, Hunter Biden, who had recently faced federal criminal charges, made a surprising appearance at the White House state dinner. The unexpected presence added an intriguing twist to the event.

But beyond the controversies, there were heartwarming moments of unity. Senator Joe Manchin and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, both prominent Democrats, found common ground during Modi’s joint address to Congress. In a heartwarming scene, Manchin, 75, embraced Pelosi, 83, in the House chamber and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek, symbolizing their shared appreciation for the occasion.
