Biden is the only President to repeatedly fall on the allegedly “tricky” Air Force One steps
White House spokesperson Jen Psaki placed blame for President Joe Biden’s repeated falls while attempting to board Air Force One last Friday on the aircraft’s boarding stairs, stating, “I don’t know if you’ve been up those steps, they’re a little tricky sometimes.”
When asked if Biden was okay following the repeated tumbles, Psaki said, “He’s a hundred percent fine, I don’t know if you’ve been up those steps, they’re a little tricky sometimes, but he’s doing great.”
Though multiple elected officials, such as former Presidents Gerald Ford and Barack Obama and former Vice President Mike Pence, have lost their footing on the Air Force One staircase, Biden is the only person to repeatedly fall over and over again while attempting to board the aircraft.
“Um, I’m not aware of that being required, there’s of course a doctor who travels with the President, any President of the United States,” Psaki said in response to a question about whether Biden, 78, had received medical attention, adding, “but, um, I’m not aware of it needing actual extensive medical attention.”
