After speaking at a star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles over the weekend, U.S. President Joe Biden seemed to hesitate on stage until former president Barack Obama grabbed him by the arm and drew the president away.
The incident, which was caught on camera, is the most recent in a string of occurrences that have beset 81-year-old Biden, prompting concerns for both his physical and mental health.
In the footage, standing ovations are given to Biden and Obama at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, and they are seen smiling and waving.
After clapping and giving the crowd a thumbs up, Biden stands still and looks at the screen for a considerable amount of time.

At that point, Obama saw what was happening and grabbed Biden by the wrist, gently pushing him forward, and Biden seemed to come to.
