President of the United States, Joe Biden, 80, tripped and fell to the ground during a cadet graduation ceremony at the Colorado Air Force Academy. President, the first octogenarian in the presidency of the United States, moved from Washington DC to Falcon Stadium in Colorado for the opening ceremony. After giving his speech and handing out his last diploma to the cadets, he turned to sit down, but apparently tripped over a sandbag and fell to his knees, collapsing to one side. Immediately afterwards, the president, who was wearing a cap, tried to get up on his own, although he had to be helped by an officer and two members of the US Secret Service.

After standing up and pointing to the alleged sack he tripped over, he remained standing for several minutes until the ceremony ended. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre later told reporters that the president was “completely fine” and had boarded Air Force One, which was taking him back to the capital, with “a big smile on his face.”

It is not the first time that Biden, who is running for re-election in the 2024 elections, falls in public. In March 2021, months after becoming president, he tripped three times before falling while climbing the stairs of Air Force One, the presidential plane that was taking him on a visit to the city of Atlanta.

In June 2022, he fell to the ground while cycling near the beach in Delaware, where he was spending the weekend with his wife, Jill Biden. The president lost his balance as he stopped to greet a few neighbors, but members of the Secret Service quickly helped him to his feet.
