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.
