During a military ceremony held on Thursday in Colorado Springs, President Joe Biden, aged 80, and a candidate for reelection in 2024, experienced a seemingly minor fall.

While presenting diplomas to students at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado, the Democrat stumbled forward after tripping over a black bag on stage. However, with immediate assistance, he quickly regained his footing and appeared unaffected by the incident.
