US President Joe Biden slipped and fell while presenting degrees at the US Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony in Colorado On Thursday June 1.
At 80 years old, Mr. Biden is the country’s oldest president currently in office. He was observed being helped up by Air Force personnel before making his own way back to his seat.
About an hour and a half had passed while the president stood to shake hands with each of the 921 graduating cadets.
“He is fine,” according to the White House communications director.
Ben LaBolt tweeted, “There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands,”
Mr. Biden reportedly fell on a black sandbag while advancing onto the stage, according to an earlier White House press pool story.
As he stands back up in the incident’s video, Mr. Biden appears to be pointing at the sandbag.
After the event had completed and he was presumably unharmed, he was seen sprinting back to his motorcade.
He is too old, according to his detractors, to run for a second term as president.
Recent surveys indicate that the majority of Americans are worried about his elderly age. If he wins, he would begin a second term at the age of 82.
Concerns may increase as a result of this fall and prior mishaps when riding his bicycle and while ascending the Air Force One stairs.
