During a strange moment at the press conference, Biden made a weird face and raised his arms. The camera zoomed out, then zoomed out once again. Biden looked confused as Kevin McCarthy and Chuck Schumer appeared to look off into the distance.

Reporters got to ask Biden questions for all of less than a minute before his staff once again ushered reporters out of the room. Biden smirked at the reporters as they were pushed out of the room. See a clip of that moment below…

NBC reports on this meeting….

President Joe Biden and congressional leaders are meeting Tuesday in the Oval Office to open negotiations to head off an impending default crisis, although neither side expects the summit to make much progress.

With the Treasury Department saying the government will run out of money as soon as June 1 unless Congress raises its borrowing limit, Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., have precious little time overcome the impasse and virtually no pre-existing relationship. 

But even sitting down together is seen as a major step forward, because the White House has so far refused to negotiate over the debt ceiling itself and both sides agree a resolution is essential to avoid the unprecedented economic calamity of a default.
