President Joe Biden appeared to trip coming down the stairs of Air Force One on Tuesday — just hours after Axios published a report stating that the president’s team was actively working to prevent just such an occurrence.
Biden exited the presidential plane via the short staircase — which the report suggested were being used more regularly because of Biden’s propensity for slipping — and about halfway down, he appeared to slip on a stair, catch the railing, and right himself before carefully navigating the remainder of the stairs.

The Axios report, published just hours earlier, said that Biden and his team had implemented a new strategy in an effort to keep him from falling down and getting hurt — especially as the 2024 presidential campaign begins to heat up.
Citing a fear among senior Democrats that Biden could potentially have a serious fall resulting in injury — particularly in the weeks prior to the 2024 election — Axios reported that Biden’s team was pulling out all the stops to keep the trip hazards in his path to a minimum. In recent weeks, the outlet noted, Biden had often exited Air Force One using the short stairs — and he had taken to wearing tennis shoes.
