A video captured the moment Donald Trump appears to snub his own grandson, in between shaking hands with audience members and small-time celebrities as he perused the aisles at a UFC match.
The video shows Trump waving hello and shaking hands with various audience members warmly, including his daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner. But when the high-profile couple tried to pass their son Joseph over to his grandpa for a hug, Trump breezed right over him and went on to greet more audience members without looking back.
Ivanka turned to her son for a second and seemingly said something while patting him - a comforting move. The 10-year-old looked pretty bummed that his grandfather didn't even see him, and individuals posting photos of Ivanka on social media pointed out that her face looked pretty "severe" at the event.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday night, Joe Biden and Donald Trump hope to clinch their parties’ presidential nominations with dominant victories in a slate of state primaries as the 2024 fight for the White House moves into a new phase. Neither Biden nor Trump faces significant opposition in primary contests across Georgia, Washington state, Mississippi, and Hawaii—though Biden lost last time in American Samoa.
They're trying to earn the necessary delegates in each state to hit the 50 per cent national threshold to become their parties’ presumptive nominees. Whether it happens Tuesday night or in the coming days of primaries, the 2024 presidential contest will end up a rematch between Biden and Trump.

On the eve of Tuesday’s primaries, Trump acknowledged that Biden would be the Democratic nominee, even as he unleashed a new attack on the president’s age.
“I assume he’s going to be the candidate,” Trump said of Biden on CNBC. “I’m his only opponent other than life, life itself.”
