Joe Biden almost falls on stage a day before US midterm elections

The 79-year-old President attended a Democrat rally in New York a day before the US midterm elections. Biden gave a disordered speech to the 1,000 attendees in Yonkers on the Sarah Lawrence College lawn.The first presidential visit to the area in 50 years saw Biden stumble on stage and appear slightly confused before returning to his speech.Biden discussed his administration’s goal to introduce a cap on the number of prescription drugs sold to senior citizens in the US.Biden said: ‘We put a cap – $2,000 a year – on prescription drugs for seniors. No matter what their cost, $2, $10, $12, $15…’The 46th President then tripped on something which was on the floor of the stage, and he held out an arm to balance himself as he gripped the microphone with his other hand.

Anyway…’He then managed to pull himself together to continue his speech, saying: ‘No matter what the cost, and some cancer drugs cost as much as that, they are never going to have to pay more than $2000 [£1736].’And we put a $35-month cap on insulin to deal with their diabetes.’READ MORE: Sunak set to back climate reparations but Boris says ‘we can’t afford’ The Democrats may suffer a big loss at the Midterms on Tuesday (Image: Getty)American columnist Benny Johnson mocked the President on Twitter calling the appearance a ‘clown show’.In a hyperbolic tweet which featured the clip from the rally, Mr Johnson said: ‘Joe Biden falls off the damn stage. What a clown show.’Comedian Tim Young also tweeted the video, saying: ‘Joe Biden is TOTALLY healthy you guys…Nothing to see here, everyone move along.’Only last month Biden was seen struggling to leave a stage after he gave a speech in Pennsylvania which also appeared to happen on stage at the UN last month.DON’T MISS: Putin’s regime accused of calling troops ‘cannon fodder’ amid massacre (REVEAL)Russian propagandist claims nuke could hit UK capital in nine minutes (INSIGHT)Brexit Britain to secure US ‘energy security partnership’ (REVEAL) It is thought that Trump may announce his 2024 bid following the Midterms (Image: Getty)Following the speech he spun around, seemingly looking for the way off, before pointing towards the stairs and making his way toward them.The comment about his health comes just weeks after the President admitted that fears over his health are ‘legitimate’.He said that he “could drop dead tomorrow’ but noted that his current state of health is okay and that it is his ‘intention to run again’.The US midterm election vote on Tuesday could spell problems for Biden as the Republicans could gain control of the House and the Senate.
