Biden stumbles up Air Force One stairs as he departs Poland
President Joe Biden was seen stumbling up the stairs of Air Force One as he was heading back to Washington, D.C., after his trip to Poland and Ukraine.
Biden fell about halfway up the stairs as he was boarding the plane at Warsaw Chopin Airport. He gave a quick wave before entering the cabin.
This is not the first time Biden has had difficulty with the ascent into Air Force One. In March 2021, the president tripped repeatedly ahead of a flight to Georgia after fracturing his foot and having to wear a boot for weeks. White House communications staff members downplayed the incident, saying that weather conditions had them almost falling, too.
Concerns over Biden's health and age have become ammunition for political opponents heading into the 2024 election. The president has hinted that he intends to run for a second term in 2024, when he would be 82.
