White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that President Joe Biden is "100% fine" after he faltered while climbing the stairs on Air Force One earlier Friday.
Biden stumbled as he climbs the steps of the plane, then gets up, then stumbles again. He struggled to stand up for a second, before making it. He then starting waving on top of the stairs before getting inside.

"it's very windy outside, I almost fell while coming up the steps myself. He is doing 100% fine," she said while briefing reporters on the plane on their way to Atlanta.
Jean-Pierre will not say if he has injured a foot that was recently broken.

"He's doing a great job. All I can say is he's fine. He's preparing for the trip today and he's doing a great job," she added, when asked if Biden got checked out by a doctor.
