Scoop: Biden team's don't-let-him-trip mission

President Biden and his campaign are working on a critical project for his re-election bid: Make sure he doesn't trip.

Driving the news: As voters express deep concerns about the 80-year-old president's age and fitness for office, Biden's team is taking extra steps to prevent him from stumbling in public — as he did in June, when he tripped over a sandbag at the Air Force Academy.

    * With a physical therapist, Biden has been doing exercises to improve his balance as far back as November 2021.
    * Since his stumble in June, he has been wearing tennis shoes more often to avoid slipping — and using the short stairs on Air Force One, entering the plane on a lower deck than before.

Why it matters: Democrats, including some in the administration, are terrified that Biden will have a bad fall — with a nightmare scenario of it happening in the weeks before the November 2024 election.  ...

Biden's balance difficulties are likely the result of what his physician has diagnosed as "a combination of significant spinal arthritis" and "mild post-fracture foot arthritis."

    * Biden works out many mornings with physical therapist Drew Contreras, who also worked with former President Obama.
    * Biden's doctor has recommended exercises for balance, which he called "proprioceptive maintenance maneuvers."
    * What the maneuvers entail is unclear.
    * "I have never heard the term 'proprioceptive maintenance maneuvers.' It is not a clinical term in standard use," said Professor James Gordon, associate dean and chair of the Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy at the University of Southern California.  ...
Biden's balance difficulties are directly related to his dementia, we all know it, and we're not stupid enough to buy this arthritis excuse.

They already have him using the short stairs to Air Force One, now he's wearing sneakers. What's next, an adult-sized perambulator?

Biden's 2024 team is on a mission to stop him from tripping amid struggle with 'significant spinal arthritis'
Biden's team is putting the president in tennis shoes and limiting stair climbs
By Anders Hagstrom Fox News
Published September 26, 2023 7:55am EDT

President Biden's campaign team is on a mission to prevent him from tripping in public as the 80-year-old continues to struggle with a diagnosis of "significant spinal arthritis."

The White House physician made the diagnosis earlier this year, and Biden has since had multiple public tripping incidents that have only compounded questions about his age. Now, his team has made a conscious effort to make him wear tennis shoes and limit stair climbs to prevent another embarrassing fall, Axios reported Tuesday.

Biden is also undergoing physical therapy with specialist Drew Contreras, who also worked with President Barack Obama. Contreras has recommended several exercises to improve the president's balance, the outlet reported.

Observers noted when Biden began wearing sneakers in public this summer after his nasty fall at the Air Force Academy in June. He also began boarding Air Force One via shorter stairs to a lower level, another move aimed at preventing falls.

 Good luck convincing voters that Joe Biden’s problems are simply an issue of arthritis

I wonder who drew the short straw to be in charge of Biden’s balance

Would it be so hard to put down those little rubber maid rubber stickers on the stairs to make them safer? Don’t we have any spare carpeting?
The "don't-let-him-trip mission” is not one I'd want to be on because you ain't coming back from that one..
