Biden falls at Air Force Academy Graduation

President Biden delivered the commencement address today at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. After shaking hands with hundreds of cadets from the Class of 2023, the president took a tumble as he was returning to his seat. The president appeared to have tripped over something on the stage. Secret service agents and an air force official rushed to help the president get back on his feet. The president pointed at a sandbag on stage as he walked to his seat without assistance and remained for the rest of the ceremony. The White House says the president is fine and confirmed that it was a sandbag on the stage that caused him to fall.
