US President Joe Biden fell on a stage during a public appearance in the state of Colorado. The 80-year-old spoke to graduates of a military academy in Colorado Springs.

A White House employee said on Twitter that the president was doing well and suggested that Biden had stumbled over a sandbag on stage. In the election in a year and a half, Biden will be 81 years old, at the end of a possible second term he would be 86 years old. The Democrat announced that he wanted to run for a second term in next year's presidential election.
