White House staffer takes dramatic fall off Air Force One

February 22, 2023

President Biden’s team took political stumbles to new heights.

A female White House staffer reportedly took a dramatic fall and slid down the ramp of Air Force One in Poland — a day before Biden stumbled up the steps of the aircraft while leaving the country.

Bizarre footage shows the aide suddenly slip halfway down the stairs, then slide the rest of the way to the runway while deplaning in Warsaw on Tuesday, according to the Independent.

The staffer, who has not been named, appeared to be wearing a backpack that cushioned some of the blow from the fall, according to the footage, which was broadcast on Polish television.

The slip-and-fall came after Biden’s surprise meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky in Kyiv on Monday, ahead of the first anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.

On Wednesday, Biden tripped up the stairs to Air Force One at Warsaw Chopin Airport on his way home from Poland.

In March 2021, the clumsy commander-in-chief took another tumble while walking up the stairs of Air Force One ahead of a trip to Atlanta, and White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later told reporters she too nearly toppled because it was “very windy.”

Footage of the tumble had been viewed more than 6 million times on Twitter, with folks speculating about what may have caused it.

“It was raining there when they landed and those metal stairs get very slick,” one observer wrote while another quipped, “A few too many beers off the trolley.”
