The 80-year-old commander-in-chief stumbled and fell to his knees and then got back up during the graduation ceremony in an incident likely to spark more concerns about his age as the nation’s oldest president seeks a second term.

He walked away without help and appeared to point to a sandbag on the stage that he appeared to trip over.

The Independent got the scoop too:

Joe Biden tripped and fell on stage as he took part in the Air Force graduation ceremony in Colorado.

The president dropped to his knees but was quickly helped back to his feet during the event at the service academy in Colorado Springs on Thursday.

Mr Biden, 80, pointed to a black sandbag on the stage seemingly blaming it for the stumble.
