The White House on Friday waved off any concerns about President Biden's well-being after he stumbled twice on the stairs when boarding Air Force One for a trip to Georgia, with aides saying the president is "doing 100 percent."

Biden slipped while jogging up the steps to the presidential aircraft on Friday morning. When he caught his footing, he stumbled again, dropping to a knee and taking a moment to collect himself before continuing to the plane.

"I know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I’m happy to report that he is just fine and did not even require any attention from the medical team who travels with him. Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs," White House communications director Kate Bedingfield tweeted.
