During a graduation ceremony at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado, President Joe Biden experienced a momentary stumble on stage, adding to the debate about his age.
Within seconds, he was promptly assisted and quickly regained his seat.
The White House assured that the President was in good health and explained that he had stumbled over a sandbag.
White House communications director Ben LaBolt said that Biden was unhurt.
“He’s fine. There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands,” LaBolt tweeted.
