As is common with these things, there is often a lot of hand raising but Biden doesn't seem to have quite mastered that art, barely raising his hand above his shoulder.

The hesitation from the 76-year-old was clear to see and it soon inspired a lot of jokes and questions on Twitter.

It wasn't just Biden's own hands that were giving him trouble. In a brief moment, he found his personal space being invaded by a stray Bernie Sanders' hand which prompted a puzzled reaction.
