“He’s fine. There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands,” explained White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt in a tweet.
The stumble comes as the president’s age continues to be a concern for many Americans. One poll released earlier this year found that two-thirds of Americans believe Biden is too old to serve another term.
Former President Donald Trump was quick to offer his own comment on the fall, saying at a campaign stop, “Well, I hope he wasn’t hurt.”
