U.S. President Joe Biden drew concern from many after he stumbled not once, but thrice while walking up the stairs to board Air Force One.

As he climbed the plane's steps, he initially appeared to trip, then get up, only to trip a second time. The third time he fell over, he was seen straightening his pants slightly before continuing on his way.
He subsequently made the remainder of his journey without a hitch, even turning to give a crisp salute at the top of the steps before entering the aircraft.
"100 per cent fine"
According to CNN, White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre assured the public that Biden was "100 per cent fine" following the misstep.
To reporters riding along on the plane to Atlanta, Jean-Pierre explained, "It's pretty windy outside, it's very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself. He is doing 100 per cent fine."
White House communications director also noted that Biden did not need further medical attention.
I know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I’m happy to report that he is just fine and did not even require any attention from the medical team who travels with him. Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs.
