President Joe Biden faced difficulty walking on the sand during a weekend outing to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, as he stumbled several times while accompanied by his wife, First Lady Jill Biden. The 81-year-old president appeared to struggle with his balance, and at one point, Jill offered her assistance, steadying him by holding onto his arm to prevent him from falling.
Video clips of the incident quickly spread online, with many social media users expressing concern about Biden’s health. In the footage, as the couple walked along the beach, bystanders off-camera questioned Biden about his upcoming post-election meeting with former President Donald Trump at the White House. The outing occurred just days after Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign ended in defeat to Trump.

Many online comments were sympathetic, with some users expressing empathy for Biden’s apparent physical struggles due to his age. One commenter wrote, “I am starting to feel sorry for the guy,” while another humorously suggested, “Somebody bubble wrap him until Trump swears in.” However, others criticized those mocking the president’s situation. “If we are lucky enough to age, we would do so as gracefully and with as much dignity as possible,” one user said, urging respect and compassion for the president. “He is human. So are we. I pray that he is okay.”
The viral video highlights ongoing concerns regarding the president’s age and physical well-being as he continues in office.
