Biden and his history of falling: A look back at when the President fell while boating Air Force One
This is not the first instance when President Biden fell down, and the world mocked him as his fall was caught on camera. A similar instance took place in February 2023, when Joe Biden wrapped up his Ukraine visit and was on his way back to Washington, DC.
As he walked to board the Air Force One, he was seen falling near the top of the staircase. However, he managed to catch himself. Surprisingly, the small fall of a few seconds was captured on camera and started floating on social media, garnering thousands of views and reactions.
Furthermore, there have been many other instances too where President Joe Biden was seen losing his balance and eventually tumbling. For the same reason, his age and physical fitness have been questioned frequently as the US awaits the 2024 Presidential elections.
However, in a medical exam, his personal doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, claimed that “Biden is healthy and robust 80-year-old male who is fully capable of carrying out his presidential duties.” At the same time, his frequent falls do raise many concerns, and at the moment, social media users cannot stop talking about it.
