Former President Joe Biden once again found himself at the center of online discussion after an unexpected moment during Thursday’s grand opening ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. While the event was intended to celebrate former President Barack Obama’s lasting legacy, a brief exchange involving Biden quickly became one of the day’s most widely shared moments.
The ceremony brought together many of the Democratic Party’s most recognizable figures for the official opening of the long-awaited presidential center. As the formal program concluded and music began playing, attendees started leaving the stage in a festive atmosphere.
Video from the event shows Obama smiling, dancing, and pretending to play an air guitar as guests applauded and prepared to exit. Former First Lady Jill Biden walked off the stage alongside other dignitaries. Biden, however, remained standing near the podium for several moments.
