Joe Biden fell this morning while walking up stairs to enter Air Force One. Multiple photos captured the moment the 78-year-old American president lost his footing and fell about halfway up the stairs.
Doug Mills, a reporter for the New York Times, writes “POTUS stumbles as he walks up the steps of Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, Md, for a trip to Atlanta.” However, other outlets reported it as a fall.

The Daily Mail, a British media outlet, reported that Biden “took a tumble up the steps” as he was preparing to leave the U.S. Capitol to “meet Asian community leaders in the wake of Tuesday’s shooting at massage parlors.”
An aide for Biden now says the nearly 80-year-old president is “doing fine.”

This comes on the heels of Biden referring to his vice president as “President Harris” during brief public remarks yesterday.
As National File reported, “’When President Harris and I took a virtual tour of a vaccination center in Arizona,’ Biden said, pausing briefly after referring to Harris as the President, perhaps realizing he made a mistake.”
