“Thank God that he made it up the stairs again without stumbling. I cringe every time he climbs up those stairs. Many try to make fun of him and ignore the fact that he's elderly and not as sure of his footing as a young man would be. Give Joe a break & give the criticism a rest.”
@JuliasWriter said:
“I was wondering that too. Why do we make the president walk up and down those steps??? It seems like a security risk too since you can't really be well protected by secret service on a narrow staircase.”
@Indiscretion suggested that the president needs help when using the stairs:
“He misjudged the height of the step, probably because that big bag obscured the view of his feet/stairs. The problem I see is someone should have taken the bag on board for him.”
@CraigCollins used the opportunity to express love for the head of state:
“Lord, please get Joe some help climbing the stairs. What he carrying a bag for balance and now he must hold an umbrella too. I love Joe and voted for Joe but come on man!.”
@JamesBabineau questioned the president's decision not to hold the rails:
“Everyone should hold the rail, no shame in that. (Someone else could bring the bag).”
@ColinCambrey is of the view that the measure to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic is an issue here:
“That mask is going to kill him before anything else..”
Back in November last year, Briefly.co.za reported that barely three months in office as the president of the US, Biden is already talking about his plans to remain in power come the 2024 presidential election.
Speaking in the affirmative when asked by journalists if he has plans to do a rematch with his predecessor, Donald Trump, the US president confirmed his ambition for re-election, New York Times reports.
As he gave his response to the issue, Biden said: “The answer is yes, my plan is to run for re-election. That’s my expectation.”
