NEW: Maj. Gen. William Walker, the new House sergeant at arms, is the first Black man to hold that job. He sat down with @thisisinsider for an exclusive interview, the first since starting his new role. By @leonardkl & @TinaSfon ($) businessinsider.com/general-willia…
"It was beyond exciting," Walker said of his “Madame Speaker!” moment when he introduced @potus at the joint session speech last week. “It was thrilling actually."
At one point, Biden can be seen on camera walking on the House floor saying something to Walker. Both men laughed. No one watching could hear the brief exchange, but Walker remembered it.
"He patted me on the arm, and he said, 'Wow, you're in pretty good shape,'" Walker recalled. "And I said, 'Yes, Mr. President, I work out."
