Joe Biden was involved in a bizarre moment after he stood up and wandered out of a studio during a live TV broadcast.
The US President walked off set while cameras were still filming after appearing on MSNBC for an interview with Nicolle Wallace.
Biden, 80, sat down for an interview with the TV channel during a trip to New York to raise money for his re-election bid.
After being probed on the Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision, January 6 and his predecessor Donald Trump, Biden was filmed slowly lifting himself from his seat.

He shook Wallace’s hand and proceeded to walk off behind the presenter while the 51-year-old was hinting about what to expect from the next segment of her Deadline: White House show.
Biden’s White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates labelled the moment a “power move”.
Trump’s three-time campaign aide Jason Miller said: “Bizarre moment Biden, 80, walks off at end of live MSNBC interview where he was asked about the Supreme Court, January 6, Trump and John McCain - but wasn't questioned about son Hunter, bribery claims or his health.”
Wallace, who previously served in the George W Bush administration and also as a senior adviser on John McCain’s unsuccessful campaign against Barack Obama in 2008, opted against asking the Commander-in-Chief about his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings and his health.

Biden made a separate gaffe earlier this week when he claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin was “losing the war in Iraq”.
Russia is currently at war with Ukraine following Putin’s decision to invade the ex-Soviet state last February.
During the US-led invasion of Iraq, Moscow provided Baghdad with intelligence about American plans in the Middle East.
Biden’s other notable blunders include calling Rishi Sunak “Mr President”, ending a speech by saying “God save the Queen” and asking if ex-Congresswoman Jackie Walorski was in the audience just weeks after she died in a car crash.

A recent NBC News opinion poll found more than two-thirds of Americans have concerns about the 46th President’s mental and physical fitness.
The number of people worried about his ability to serve a second-term include almost half of Democrats.
A separate opinion poll by YouGov even suggested Trump could become just the second Commander-in-Chief to serve two non-consecutive terms in the Oval Office as he opened up a four-point lead over his successor.
