Biden trips, falls thrice while boarding Air Force One
US President Joe Biden, on Friday, fell three times while climbing the steps of Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, while on his way to Atlanta.
He, however, gets up, dusts his left knee, and climbs the remaining steps up before turning around to salute the air force personnel on the runway.

Commenting on the incident, Karine Jean-Pierre, deputy press secretary at the White House, reportedly told journalists that “It was very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself. He is doing 100 percent fine.”
Also, in a tweet, Kate Bedingfield, White House communications director, maintained that the US president was “just fine” and did not require any medical attention after the fall.
I know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I’m happy to report that he is just fine and did not even require any attention from the medical team who travels with him. Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs.
