According to CNN, President Joe Biden took a bad fall as he entered the stage at the US Air Force Academy graduation ceremony in Colorado Springs, CO.
Ben Labolt, White House communications director, tweeted: “He’s fine. He was shaking hands and there was a sandbag on the stage.
The president appeared to land on his right hip before two Secret Service agents and an Air Force official helped him up. He was able to return to his seat unaided.
The president, according to CNN, “appeared to be in good spirits.”
According to CNN, the 2023 graduation ceremony lasted nearly five hours, during which time Biden shook hands with about 900 graduates.
Biden spoke at the graduation and spoke about climate change, China and the war in Ukraine.
