Former President Joe Biden was caught in an awkward moment when he drifted back toward the stage as the dedication ceremony for President Barack Obama’s presidential library wrapped up Thursday.
Video shows Biden pulling down his sunglasses and peering into the crowd as his wife, Jill Biden, and Obama exited the stage, leaving him behind. At one moment, Biden shouted, ‘where’s my granddaughter?’ A person familiar with the situation told Fox News Digital that Biden was searching for his granddaughter, who was sitting in the audience.
Event and Reaction
The moment came at the conclusion of a star-studded event celebrating the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, which brought together Obama, Biden, Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Kamala Harris and a host of entertainers and political figures.
The incident also follows renewed scrutiny of Biden’s health and his initial decision to seek a second term in 2024. During an appearance at New York’s 92nd Street Y this week, Hillary Clinton called Biden’s reelection bid a ‘terrible mistake,’ arguing that Democrats may have been better positioned had there been a competitive primary process before the 2024 election.
