Biden nearly falls off the stairs during speech in Philadelphia

On Friday, President Biden, 80, prevented a disastrous fall after he tripped on the stairs while taking the stage in Philadelphia to announce a new clean energy effort.

Video shows Biden getting ready to walk up the steps to the stage. The President makes it one step and stumbles but continues to proceed. He takes another step and nearly face plants. Biden clenched onto the railing, grasping it for dear life, and ultimately prevented himself from yet another disastrous fall.

Biden looked at the crowd, paused, and smiled as if he was relieved that he did not bite the dust, video shows.

People across social media were quick to comment on the incident and repeated a commonly asked question: "Is Biden fit to hold office?"

"We are gonna see 'Mobility Scooter One' before this is over," an individual wrote on X.

"Faller in chief," another said.

The incident left another individual angered in which they wrote on X: "The way he stops and looks and smiles after like it's funny is just so infuriating. Like dude please go to the nursing home already."

Although another user added, "I'm no fan, but that was a pretty cool recovery."

Biden has been criticized numerous times for repeated incidents of falling. The world saw President Biden fall up and down the steps of Air Force One on numerous occasions, while he also took a hard tumble when he fell off his bike in Delaware.

President Biden is in Philadelphia to announce the Biden administration's Clean Energy $50 billion "Hydrogen Hub" plan.

In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and industry and to generate employment, the United States plans to turbocharge hydrogen by designating seven "hubs" around the nation that will receive tens of billions of dollars in public and private funding to increase the amount of the carbon-free fuel produced and used, according to Forbes.
