WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 02nd June, 2023) US President Joe Biden on Friday tripped and fell on stage during the Air Force academy Graduation Ceremony on Thursday near Colorado Springs, video footage showed.
Biden is shown leaving the podium when he suddenly trips and falls to the ground before being assisted back into a standing position and appearing to walk off stage unassisted.
White House Communications director Ben LaBolt said later that the President is uninjured, and attributed the fall to a sandbag allegedly on the stage.
