The White House communications director later announced that the president was fine.
President of the United States Joe Biden collapsed in front of the cameras on Thursday local time while attending an Air Force graduation ceremony in Colorado.
The crash happened after Biden gave a speech to the graduates of the military school. The president fell while walking from the stage back to his seat after the speech.
Air Force personnel helped Biden back to his feet after he fell. The president didn’t seem to need any more help after his concussion.
As he got up, the president pointed to a small sandbag-like thing on the stage that he had apparently tripped over. White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt tweeted soon after what happened that the president is fine.
Biden, 80, is the oldest US president. He is seeking a second term in the 2024 presidential election.
