President Joe Biden, 81, found it difficult to stay upright in 2023.
According to his annual physical conducted in February by physician Kevin O’Connor, Biden suffers from atrial fibrillation, peripheral neuropathy in his feet, and hyperlipidemia.
After the diagnosis, Biden began boarding Air Force One’s second, shorter staircase to presumably remain on his feet, since many of his trips and falls involved tall plane stairs.
Below are the top five times Biden publicly fell or tripped:
1) February: Biden fell and caught himself before possibly tumbling down the stairs as he tried to board Air Force One in Poland:

4) June: Biden took a huge fall on stage at the U.S. Air Force Academy graduation ceremony.
He seemed to trip “on a black sandbag on the stage” but appeared “to be ok and continued to stand until the ceremony ended a few minutes later,” according to the White House pool report.
