Former President Joe Biden was seated in the back of the foreign dignitaries section at Pope Francis' funeral, no longer being the leader of the free world. Social media users commented on his placement, comparing it to being excluded from the 'cool kids club.' Despite this, Biden was seen taking selfies and posing with other mourners at the funeral. Biden had previously met with Pope Francis on multiple occasions and described him as a consequential leader. Pope Francis died at the age of 88 after battling health complications.
