White House Quietly Taking Steps to Compensate for Biden’s Age

Age is arguably President Joe Biden’s biggest obstacle heading into the 2024 election cycle, and though his team has publicly denied it being an issue, it has quietly taken steps to account for the octogenarian’s limitations.

If reelected, Biden would be 86 by the end of a second term. He is already the oldest person to ever serve as president.

A Wednesday report from Politico notes that Biden is frequently forgoing the large, portable stairs at the main Air Force One entrance in favor of a smaller, retractable set near the cockpit. The president has taken a number of falls during his two-plus years in office while boarding Air Force One, in addition to his onstage tumble at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

The undercarriage staircase has only 14 steps, compared to nearly 30 on the larger set. The outlet noted that the larger, portable staircase can oftentimes become slick regardless of the weather and are wobbly. Former President Barack Obama also nearly fell down those steps while deboarding Air Force One in March of 2015.
