TODAY SAW THE swearing in of the new Congress in the US.

As the President of the Senate, US Vice President Joe Biden was in high demand for photos.

However, when Delaware Chris Coons’ family lined up for their picture with Barack Obama’s second in command, one person wasn’t all that impressed.

Coons’ granddaughter flat out rejected Biden’s attempt at a peck on the cheek.
