President Joe Biden tripped and fell Thursday after receiving his final diploma at a graduation ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy. He was quickly helped to his feet and returned to his seat without assistance, Reuters reports.
The US president was returning to his seat when he collapsed.
According to the Daily Mail, Biden allegedly tripped over a sandbag on stage, causing him to point a finger at it after three people helped him up.

White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt said on Twitter that Biden is fine. “There was a sandbag on stage,” he explained.
The fallout came after Biden delivered a commencement speech in which he warned graduates that they would be joining the Armed Forces in an increasingly unstable world, citing challenges from Russia and China.
Biden is running for a second term in 2024. Doctors declared him fit and healthy after a check-up in February.
Biden tripped again while climbing the stairs of Air Force One after departing from Warsaw on February 22, but quickly recovered without falling.
