President Biden has fallen on stage while handing out diplomas to Air Force Academy cadets in Colorado.
The 80-year-old commander-in-chief stumbled and fell to his knees and then got back up during the graduation ceremony in an incident likely to spark more concerns about his age as the nation's oldest president seeks a second term.
He was assisted by Air Force officials when he fell to the ground.
The president then walked away without help and appeared to point to a sandbag on the stage that he appeared to trip over.
'He's fine,' White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt tweeted shortly after the incident. 'There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands.'
The stumble comes just weeks after Biden stumbled while visiting the Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima, Japan.
During that event, there was a railing available on some stairs the president had to navigate down. He ignored the railing and stumbled, restoring his balance while walking downward. Biden also stumbled while boarding Air Force One in March on a trip to Selma, Alabama.
Biden fell up the stairs while boarding Air Force One in 2021 and toppled over on his bike near his Delaware beach house last June. He was not harmed in any of the incidents.

How do you trip on a sand bag 5 feet away from you.
He’s like Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live.
I’m wondering why it was there in the first place but yes how did he trip on something 5 feet away from him?
There might have been an invisible sandbag next to the invisible man he was trying to shake hands with.
I remember people goofing on Trump when he got help going down a wet ramp because he didn’t want to fall over. Let’s see what these same people say about the “president” actually falling over
Down goes Biden
Down goes Biden
Sandbagging - how apropos...
Chase was mocking Gerald Ford for being not nearly as clumsy as brandon but you will see no parody on today’s snl.
How biden hasn’t broken a hip is a miracle.
He’s like Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live.

Not to be made light of- this country is exhibiting all the historical Biblical signs.
Next up? Financial troubles,rule of law depleted, military defeats, confusion, etc….for all the world to see.
It appears he was trying to do that “spry run” thing he often does where he moves too fast for his own good to show everyone how fit and fast he is.
They would be yelling to impeach Trump.
“confusion”
Bidens got that one covered as well
Got his foot caught in the bike pedal clip again, or did they already use that one? Was it windy?
“trying to do that “spry run” thing”
Yep, that’s what I saw......and stupid it is every time I see it.
I’m not one to defend Biteme, but those sandbags were inappropriately placed.
Sandbags appear to be securing the microphone stand. They blocked the area directly in front of the lectern.
I would have tripped over them if distracted by the crowd or my attention was focused elsewhere.
One day, he’s going head first down the AF1 steps & he won’t be getting back up.
Karma from making fun of Trump when he walked down the ramp at the USMA graduation.
Thankfully the poopy diapers cushioned the fall.
