It happened again everyone!
The Air Force One steps tripped up Biden.
While boarding Air Force One at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, Biden tripped going up the steps.
“That was a quick trip, but as you said, very impactful,” a reporter at WSFA 12 News said when Biden stumbled.
Although the reporter was referencing Biden’s trip to Selma, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.
Because it was a “quick trip.”

Those stairs should be designated a national security threat. When are they going to install a chair lift for "safety?" https://t.co/SvhZsjcSuS

AP reported on Biden’s quick trip to Selma:
President Joe Biden used the searing memories of Selma’s “Bloody Sunday” to recommit to a cornerstone of democracy, lionizing a seminal moment from the civil rights movement at a time when he has been unable to push enhanced voting protections through Congress and a conservative Supreme Court has undermined a landmark voting law.
“Selma is a reckoning. The right to vote … to have your vote counted is the threshold of democracy and liberty. With it anything’s possible,” Biden told a crowd of several thousand people seated on one side of the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge, named for a reputed Ku Klux Klan leader.
“This fundamental right remains under assault. The conservative Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act over the years. Since the 2020 election, a wave of states and dozens and dozens of anti-voting laws fueled by the ‘Big Lie’ and the election deniers now elected to office,” he said.
As a candidate in 2020, Biden promised to pursue sweeping legislation to bolster protection of voting rights. Two years ago, his 2021 legislation, named after civil right leader John Lewis, the late Georgia congressman, included provisions to restrict partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts, strike down hurdles to voting and bring transparency to a campaign finance system that allows wealthy donors to bankroll political causes anonymously.
