Biden tripped on stage at the US Air Force Academy graduation

President Joe Biden tripped on stage at the graduation ceremony for the US Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Thursday, but was not injured, the White House said.

The 80-year-old delivered a commencement address to the academy's class of 2023. Video showed Biden tripping while he was on stage shaking hands. He fell to the ground and was quickly helped up by several people. After getting up, he appeared to point back at something, possibly what he tripped over.

Ben LaBolt, the White House communication director, said Biden tripped over a sandbag and is uninjured.
