US President Joe Biden, 80, made a fall that at first glance seemed minor during a military ceremony Thursday in Colorado Springs. The Democrat, who had just handed out diplomas to students at the Colorado Air Force Academy, fell forward, receiving himself on his knees and hands.

He then got up with the help of a soldier at his side and his bodyguards. His age and fitness are a constant subject of attack by some of his political opponents. According to polls, majority of Americans believe he is too old to run for a second term.
