US President Joe Biden tripped and fell after delivering a commencement address and handing out diplomas at a graduation ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy on Thursday. The 80-year-old president quickly got up on one knee helped by three people and walked back to his seat unassisted. As Biden was helped up, he pointed behind him, seeming to indicate what he tripped over. White House communications director Ben LaBolt tweeted that Biden was fine. "There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands," he explained. Biden is running for re-election in 2024. Doctors declared him healthy and fit for duty after a physical examination in February. (Reuters)
