Some context: the woman is Marcy Kaptur who is the Congressperson for Ohio's 9th district since 1983. She's a Democrat and a strong union supporter. Vance showed up (unannounced I'm assuming) at a union event on Labor day. He goes to shake the reps hand (I assume he knew who she was) and being a smart politician, Kaptur doesn't want to give him the photo op. Instead she gives him a fist bump and delivers the ice cold line "First time here?" which he foolishly answers "Yes". I'm assuming the guys who ran away from Vance rather than shake his hand are her aides who followed her lead.
Honestly, this isn't so much a Vance awkward moment as a demonstration of Kaptur's political skill. The Harris campaign should send her flowers or something.

Vance needs to take lessons from Bernie.
