Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Joe Biden joined the ex-first family onstage for the ceremony with their wives: first ladies Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Jill Biden. Former Vice President Kamala Harris and ex-German Chancellor Angela Merkel also attended.
The 46th president appeared somewhat disoriented as he left the stage following a concluding performance from Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen and other musicians, with Biden pointing in different directions as his head swiveled looking to find an exit.
“Thank you for your steadfast partnership for eight years,” Obama said at one point of Joe and Jill Biden in his speech. “Joe, we started as running mates and ended as family, and we would not be here without you. And we are grateful.”
Obama had expressed doubts about his former VP Joe Biden having the juice to win the 2020 election against Donald Trump.
