Joe Biden Using Shorter Staircase to Board Air Force One

After several embarrassing tripping or stumbling episodes, Joe Biden has been using a shorter staircase to board and debark from Air Force One for the past few months. Photos and videos show Biden climbing up and down a short staircase that leads to the undercarriage of the presidential Boeing 747-200B rather than the long staircase to the cabin traditionally taken by able-bodied presidents.

Biden has fallen or stumbled in public at least three times this year: In Warsaw in February, Saturday in Delaware and most notably at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony on June 1st where Biden fell and had trouble standing back up on his own.

Video posted Monday morning by the RNC of Biden boarding Air Force One for a fundraising trip to California shows Biden taking the short steps without incident.

Using the short steps is not entirely safe for Biden. He almost stumbled off Air Force One on Saturday in Delaware:

But not with the regularity of the past few months.
