U.S President Joe Biden and Former President Barack Obama got the band back together on Tuesday at the White House.
The former president visited his ex-vice president in the White House to try and restoke Democratic momentum ahead of midterm elections.
"Welcome back to the White House, man. It feels like the good old days," Biden told his former boss in a packed ceremonial East Room.
Once Obama entered the room, he received huge cheers from staff and members of Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris gave a warm hug to the former president.
A video published on social media shows Biden walking around in the room with confusing expressions as no one was talking to him.

"Vice President Biden," Obama began his speech, before correcting himself to laughter, saying "that was a joke."
Biden, who served two terms as deputy to the first Black president, prolonged the quip by introducing himself as "Barack Obama's vice president."
"Despite great odds, Joe and I were determined," Obama continued. "I intended to get healthcare passed even if it cost me reelection -- which for a while it looked like it might."
The White House emphasized that the 44th president and current 46th were having lunch, just as they used to once a week during the Obama administration.
"They are real friends, not just Washington friends," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki insisted.
