President Biden, yet again, has tripped twice while boarding Air Force One — despite using a shorter, less challenging staircase.
The 81-year-old commander-in-chief managed to narrowly avoid a complete double tumble as he prepared to set off for Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Footage of the near-miss showed Biden saluting US military personnel at the bottom of the staircase before starting his climb at Andrews Air Force Base, Md.
