Biden stumbles and falls on stage in Colorado

White House officials say he is fine

President Joe Biden is fine after tripping and falling over at an event in Colorado, White House officials, say. He stumbled on a sandbag while heading off the stage at the end of the event.

Biden was giving a speech at the National Education Association's annual meeting in Denver when he tripped and fell. He was able to get up and walk away on his own, but he appeared to be shaken up.

White House officials said Biden was not injured in the fall. He returned to Washington later that day and participated in a scheduled meeting with members of Congress.

Several people close to President Biden said on Thursday that they believe he has become more frail in recent months. They said he has been experiencing increasing difficulty with balance and coordination, and they worry that he may be at risk of falling again.

The White House has not commented on Biden's health, but the president's recent stumbles have raised concerns about his ability to serve as president.
