Instead of the US president typically being front and center of these G20 classic group photos it was India’s Narendra Modi who stood next to Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

MAKES JOE SENSE
Biden’s presidency has been full of major and minor gaffes.
For example, he recently asked a reporter if she could be hit in the head by a camera in a cringe-worthy attempt to dodge a question about Israel and Gaza.
This happened following a meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House to discuss the conflict in Gaza and Lebanon as well as the release of hostages.
Shortly before the meeting, Israeli journalist Neria Kraus asked Biden: "Do you think we can get a hostage deal by the end of your term?"
In an apparent attempt to avoid answering the question, the President responded: "Do you think you can keep from getting hit in the head by a camera behind you?"

“We ran the best campaign we could, considering Joe Biden was president,” the aide claimed.
"Joe Biden is the singular reason Kamala Harris and Democrats lost tonight.”
