The Detroit representative tweeted a photo of her with the former president following this week's Washington meeting.
Representative Rashida Tlaib has described what it was like meeting with Barack Obama, after the former president spoke with freshmen Democratic members of Congress at an informal meet-and-greet in Washington earlier this week.
According to reports, Obama used the event to warn the freshmen about the cost of some of the policies that have attracted media attention. The U.S. Senate recently voted against the Green New Deal bill 57-0, with 42 Democratic senators voting “present” rather than “yes” or “no.” According to an estimate from the center-right think tank American Action Forum, the Green New Deal could have cost between $50 and $93 trillion dollars over a 10-year period for the taxpayers, although this figure has been disputed.
