President Biden appeared to have a difficult time navigating his way through the sand while visiting Rehoboth Beach in Delaware over the weekend.
The president and first lady could be seen trudging through the sand not long after they returned from church on Sunday morning. While leaving the service, Biden was asked whether he still believed President-elect Trump is a “threat to democracy.”
“I’ll see him on Wednesday,” the president said before entering an awaiting vehicle.
Once on the beach, the president’s legs could be seen buckling as he appeared close to tumbling over on multiple occasions. Jill was walking fine, but onlookers noted that the commander-in-chief appeared to be “battling” with the sand. Members of the press corps could be heard saying “oh no” as the president trudged his way across the beach.
He refused to take questions from the press pool, almost all of whom asked about his upcoming meeting with President-elect Trump.
Watch:
As President Biden nears the end of his lone term in the White House, he appears to have avoided another wipeout while campaigning in Delaware. The president has frequently “fallen up” the stairs of Air Force One on numerous occasions, prompting him to mostly opt for the “short” staircase these days.
He also took a notable tumble while riding a bike in 2022, while the president took what was perhaps the biggest tumble of his tenure when he toppled over while addressing cadets at the Air Force Academy.

President Biden and President-elect Trump are expected to meet for a formal meeting at the Oval Office. A day after Trump’s historic comeback win, Biden congratulated his longtime rival in a phone call and extended the invitation. The two are also expected to have a lunch meeting before the Oval Office event, which is scheduled for 11 a.m. Eastern Time.
“I will do my duty as president: I will fulfill my oath and I will honor the Constitution. On Jan. 20, we’ll have a peaceful transfer of power here in America,” the president told reporters in the Rose Garden on Thursday.
