(CNN) President Joe Biden is doing "100% fine" after he tripped while walking up the stairs to board Air Force One earlier Friday, White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Biden stumbled as he climbed the plane's steps, initially appearing to trip, get up, then trip a second time. He struggled to get up the second time for a brief moment, before making it up, turning to wave at the top of the steps before hustling inside.
"So, as you know, it's pretty windy outside, it's very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself," she said while briefings reporters on the plane on the way to Atlanta. "He is doing 100% fine."
Jean-Pierre wouldn't say if he hurt the foot that was recently broken.
"He's doing great. All I can tell you is he's doing fine. He's preparing for the trip today and he is doing just great," she said in response to a question.

, de 78 anos, o presidente mais velho assumir a Casa Branca, tropeçou duas vezes hoje ao subir a escada do Força Aérea 1. Na segunda vez, caiu, levantando-se logo em seguida para continuar a subida. Antes de entrar no avião, ele se virou e fez um aceno aos que acompanhavam a partida, incluindo militares da Aeronáutica. 

Karine Jean-Pierre, da Assessoria de Imprensa da Casa Branca, tranquilizou a todos dizendo que Biden "está 100% bem".

Biden havia fraturado um pé ao brincar com seus cachorros em sua casa semanas antes de assumir a presidência dos Estados Unidos.
