President Biden continues to project strength ahead of the 2024 election — by tumbling on stage at the US Air Force Academy Graduation.
The 80-year-old commander-in-chief fell today while handing out diplomas to graduating cadets in Colorado. Rest assured, he was quickly helped up and escorted off stage by three Air Force officials.
The White House has blamed the fall on a sandbag placed by the podium. ‘He’s fine. There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands,’ White House communications director Ben LaBolt tweeted after the incident. Mr S isn’t sure how the sandbag got there but could have sworn he heard the familiar cackle of one power-hungry vice president while rewatching the video.
Of course, Biden is no stranger to stumbling. Just two weeks ago, he had a good trip visiting the Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima, Japan.
