MARYLAND: President Joe Biden flew to Atlanta just days after a white gunman killed eight people, most of them women of Asian descent.
As he boarded Air Force One on Friday morning, Biden, who was wearing a mask, stumbled several times up the stairs to the aircraft, before saluting the military officer who greeted him on the tarmac.
When asked about the stumble, White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pointed out the windy weather and said Biden was “doing 100% fine.”
