Recently, US President Joe Biden stumbled and fell on the steps of the stage during a function, after which many kinds of talks started about him. He tripped and fell on stage during a US Air Force Academy event. However, he did not get hurt during this.
Joe Biden Suddenly Stumbled and Fell
Biden was greeting graduates with a salute and handshake in front of a stage in Colorado Springs when he suddenly stumbled and fell. An Air Force officer and two US Secret Service team members helped him during this.
The Doctor Told The Reason For The Fall
Biden’s physician, Dr Kevin O’Connor, said after the president’s most recent physical in February that he is a healthy 80-year-old male who is fit in every way to perform the duties of the presidency successfully. Connor said on the president’s fall that it was caused by spinal arthritis, a previously broken leg, and neuropathy in Biden’s feet.
Biden Has Fallen In Front Of The Media Many Times Before
Since Biden collapsed on stage, questions about his age and his fitness to serve have been raised. His wobble has become an opportunity for political rivals as they campaign for a second term in 2024.
He staggered before climbing the stairs and boarding Air Force One, and before that, he tripped once on his bike while stopping to talk to reporters near his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Many Presidents Fell Even Before Biden
President Gerald Ford collapsed while exiting Air Force One in 1975. Even in 2012, President Barack Obama fell on a stage while climbing the stairs at an event. President Donald Trump’s 2020 West Point debut walk also raised concerns about his health.
Opposition Leaders Targeted
GOP presidential candidate and Florida governor Ron DeSantis used the occasion to launch a political attack on Biden. He said, “We hope and wish that Joe Biden recovers soon from his injury.” “But we also wish the United States a speedy recovery from the wounds inflicted by Joe Biden and his policies,” he added.
