Joe Biden takes hard fall at Air Force Academy commencement ceremony

( NYPost )

President Biden fell on stage Thursday after congratulating graduates of the Air Force Academy in Colorado — drawing gasps from the crowd as onlookers rushed to help the commander-in-chief to his feet.

Biden, 80, is the oldest-ever president and is seeking a second term in next year’s election.

The White House did not immediately comment on the president’s health, but a pool reporter relayed minutes later that he “appears to be ok.”

As Biden got to his feet, he pointed at a black sandbag on the stage, indicating that he had stumbled over the object.

Biden fell after saluting and shaking hands with the graduates. Earlier, he delivered a speech to the newest members of the Air Force and Space Force.

Biden has tripped or stumbled at least four times before on the steps of Air Force One — drawing embarrassing coverage and comparisons to a high-profile 1975 incident involving President Gerald Ford.

Biden would be 86 if he completes a second four-year term.

Former President Donald Trump, 76, is the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, though he faces a large field of competitors including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 44.
