Biden wanders off set while MSNBC host still speaking
After a friendly interview on MSNBC, President Biden curiously walks off the set while anchor Nicolle Wallace is still speaking.
President Biden could not wait until the commercial break to flee the set of a live televised interview with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace.
Biden granted the liberal host a rare live sit-down on Thursday, which largely focused on his reaction to the Supreme Court's historic decision to strike down affirmative action.
After nearly 20 minutes of softball questions, Biden got up from his chair and took the scenic route off the MSNBC set, walking behind Wallace as she teased analysis of her interview to viewers.

"YOU sit in the chair, YOU smile at the pretty lady, YOU stay until we come get you," Substack writer Jim Treacher quipped.
