Moment Joe and Jill Biden were left awkwardly standing in the cold outside White House on Inauguration Day when doors to their new residence didn't open because chief usher had been FIRED five hours earlier
With the world watching on, President Biden and his wife Jill walked up the steps of their new home for the first time on Wednesday
The couple posed for photos outside the large wooden doors of the North Portico, waiving to the crowd as a military band played ‘Hail to the Chief’ nearby
They then embraced one another, before turning to venture inside
However, the doors didn't open - which is reportedly a breach of protocol
For an awkward period of around 10 seconds, Biden stares puzzlingly at the door before turning back to shoot a confused look
Eventually the doors swing open, though it’s unclear whether Jill and Joe were forced to open them themselves, or whether someone on the inside did
It remains unclear exactly what caused the delay, but the firing of the chief usher of the White House, Timothy Harleth, likely had a part to play
