The congresswoman who was shot made her first appearance in Congress. The congresswoman Giffords, who was shot, made her first appearance in Congress on the 1st, to participate in the House of Representatives' vote on raising the U.S. debt ceiling and reducing the deficit agreement. Comprehensive media reported on August 1 that the House of Representatives voted on the evening of the 1st to pass the bipartisan agreement to raise the U.S. debt ceiling and reduce the deficit. Among a total of 269 votes in favor (161 votes against), one vote was cast by Democratic congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head but survived. This is Giffords' first appearance in Congress since the shooting in January this year. The video of the voting scene showed that Giffords was wearing a light blue shirt and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked good, but his steps were slightly unsteady. I believe her hair was cut extremely short for the convenience of treatment. After Giffords appeared at the voting site, she was immediately surrounded by congressmen and received a standing ovation. A congressman who is also from Arizona and Giffords even kissed her gently, bringing the atmosphere to a climax. "Gabriel returned to Washington to support bipartisan bills to avoid an economic crisis." After the vote began, Giffords wrote on his Twitter account, indicating that he voted in favor of the debt raising and deficit reduction agreement reached by the two parties on the 31st. On January 8 this year, when the 41-year-old Giffords was meeting with voters in Tucson, a 22-year-old young man suddenly opened fire on the crowd, resulting in a tragedy that killed six and injured 12. The bullet passed through the left side of Giffords' brain during the attack, but she survived the attack and miraculously survived the incident. After his injury gradually stabilized, Giffords was transferred to a rehabilitation center in Houston for treatment. In mid-May this year, when the U.S. Space Shuttle Endeavor performed its final mission, Giffords went to the launch site to see off her astronaut husband, Mark Kelly. It was also the first time she appeared in public since she was shot.
